Why Wisconsin?
"With what I believe to be one of the nation's top-tier distance running programs, Wisconsin offers a 'law-In-action' approach toward studying in order to become a lawyer with real-world experience. Coupled with Madison's rich agricultural ties, Wisconsin offered the best opportunity for me to pursue my dreams, both academically and athletically. I am fortunate to call this place home for the next few years! "
