What
has been your most memorable experience on Calvin's track team?
"It's impossible to single
out one experience. It might be getting the ocean spirit in Gulf Shores.
It might be the promiscuous victory lap at midnight after MIAA championships.
It might be the 4x400 relay bond. And it could quite possibly be crossing
the finish line first at nationals. The list goes on... I can't pick just
one!"
Why
did you decide to attend Calvin College?
"I never really chose
Calvin, but when May of my senior year of High School rolled around, Calvin
was basically the only place I have applied to. I had no choice, but I'm
happy that God has sent me here."
