Cunigan has been a major contributor for the Lady Buffs’ program since stepping foot on the West Texas A&M campus in 2016, following in older sister Holly Cunigan's footsteps by building an impressive resume in both her freshman and sophomore seasons. 

During the indoor portion of her freshman season, Cunigan earned All-American honors
