Why Wisconsin?

“I strive to always challenge myself, whether that be in the classroom or out on the cross country course or track.  With the University of Wisconsin being ranked one of the best colleges in the nation for academics, and the Track & Field and Women's Cross Country programs upholding a tradition of excellence, I knew that the University would provide me with a platform to continue to challenge myself.  When I first visited campus I immediately fell in love with the surrounding city area, and I could tell the Women's Cross Country team was full of determined and driven people.  All of these things combined to lead me to envision myself fitting in right away.”
