What has been your most memorable experience on Calvin's track team?
" Two moments come to mind. I really enjoyed the Gulf Shores trip and getting to know people, and also, jumping a Personal Record at NCAA nationals and taking fourth was a good time."
Why did you decide to attend Calvin College?
There was never really any doubt in my mind that I was going to attend Calvin. Both my parents went to Calvin and my brother went to Calvin. As a result, I grew up attending Calvin Basketball games, other sporting events, and sibling weekends. I also knew that Calvin is a great academic school and that it would challenge me spiritually.
