What has been your most memorable experience on Calvin's track team?

"My most memorable experience so far has been watching one of my favorite athletes on the team realize her potential become motivated to achieve perfection."

Why did you decide to attend Calvin College?

"Calvin to me seemed like a place where I could join a team without the pressure of retaining a scholarship yet still bettering myself in my running career. Also, the academic base at Calvin was extremely good. The class sizes were small, and all classes were taught by professors. The overall atmosphere was inviting and seemed like a comfortable place to live for a few years."
