Why Wisconsin?
“I have lived in Wisconsin my entire life and have always been a fan of the Badgers. When I realized I might have the ability to run at UW-Madison, I was eager to explore the opportunity. I discovered the team was not only talented and competitive, but also incredibly welcoming. I knew I wanted to continue to compete and grow as a runner, while also receiving an excellent education. Wisconsin offered me these great things, making my choice very easy.”
