What
has been your most memorable experience on Calvin's track team?
"Receiving two National
Championships in the Women's 4x400 meter relay. I also have loved getting
to know so many new people every year on the track team. Many of the people
I have met will be life long friends."
Why
did you decide to attend Calvin College?
"I had always
thought that I would probably go to Calvin, and then when track coach
called to recruit me to run track, this helped make my decision final.
Also I liked the fact that the student to professor ratio was so small,
this way students get to know their professors on a more personal level."
