Why Wisconsin?

"I chose Wisconsin because it provides the perfect combination of outstanding academics and athletics. As soon as I stepped on campus, I knew that UW-Madison was the right place for me. I think that Wisconsin will offer me the perfect conditions to grow personally and to reach my full potential."
 

Off the course with Anna

Where are your favorite places to run in Madison? The Arboretum or along the Lakeshore Path and Picnic Point.
Do you have any pre-meet rituals? I always go for some oatmeal on race day but don´t have any specific rituals.
When did you start running competitively? In 2017 (end of sophomore year / beginning junior year of high school) but I did some track & field in general and for fun before that!
What do you love most about running?  That you can run wherever you are and discover new places in a completely different way while running!
