Why Wisconsin

“I chose Wisconsin because of its winning tradition not only on the track but in academics. UW-Madison is a great institution that exemplifies how to be a champion on and off the field and I want to be a part of that reputation. In addition, Wisconsin provides a plethora of resources to their athletes and students that allows them to really succeed in the real world and make life long connections. I chose Wisconsin because it is a place where I know I can thrive in many areas while being my best possible self.”
