Tyra Buss cementing legacy in IU women’s basketball program

Tyra Buss hit the national landscape in January 2010 by finishing second in a 12- and 13-year-old Punt, Pass and Kick competition at the site of the AFC championship in San Diego. Her legend and legacy has only continued to grow in stature through the years.

Featured in Sports Illustrated’s “Faces in the Crowd” in the magazine’s Feb. 28, 2011 edition, she drew the attention of people in her hometown back in 2003. From an early age, it was obvious that Buss was something special, perhaps rivaling Archie Dees as the best athlete to ever come out of Mount Carmel, Illinois.
