What
has been your most memorable experience on Calvin's track team?
"My most memorable experience
was to have the privilege of being under the training of coach Gardner
for three years. It was only after he passed away to be able to finally
walk again in Heaven that I fully knew what he meant to me."
Why
did you decide to attend Calvin College?
"It seemed to have a small
school atmosphere with the advantages of a large university. The professors
know you personally and the track coaching staff is unbelievable."
