Tracey Braden is leaving behind a lifetime in Missouri to be the women’s basketball coach at Sewanee.
She has been the women’s coach at Westminster College, another NCAA Division III institution, the past 10 years. The Fulton, Mo., program went 155-100 in that time and won four St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular-season championships, mostly recently in 2016, and SLIAC tournament titles in 2012 and 2013.
Braden had 25 all-conference players at Westminster, including the league player of the year in 2011. And the Blue Jays were a Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Academic Top 25 team four times.
She coached at three Missouri high schools from 1999 to 2007 and was the Tri-County Conference coach of the year three straight years beginning in 2000.
The Versailles, Mo., native graduated in 1997 from Central Missouri State, where she lettered three seasons in basketball.
