WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE BVU?

I love BVU because of the amazing community on campus! The people on campus truly enjoy making connections and memories!

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR SPORT?

I love how the Track and Field team truly becomes family. We are all working together to improve our skills whether on the track or on the field! We are always pushing each other to success!

RETURNING STUDENTS, WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE ATHLETICS MOMENT?

My most memorable moment has been competing at Drake Relays with my favorite girls! We went into the 4x200 not expecting anything and even had open handoffs. We finished with the third fastest time in BVU history and was less than a second away from the school record.
