Why Wisconsin?
“I choose Wisconsin because I have lived in Madison my whole life and I can’t imagine living or training anywhere else for college. I’ve known people on the team since my oldest brother ran here and they are all super fun people as well as amazing athletes. I also really like Jill’s coaching style and right from the start it was clear how much she cares about all of her athletes and how she wants success for us as runners but also as people.”
