Why Wisconsin?

“I chose Wisconsin because I'm excited about being part of a big team with an extraordinary athletic tradition. I think that having women around me who want to push themselves to see what they can do will be a really inspiring environment, and we can pull each other along to achieve our goals collectively. I am so excited about working with Coach Lindsay since she has a lot of first-hand experience as a highly competitive athlete and a coach with excellent communication skills, and I believe in her aerobic endurance-oriented training program. I'd like the chance to push my limits with my last NCAA track season and see where that takes me.”
