| What
has been your most memorable experience on Calvin's track team? |
| "When my two teammates,
Nate Kuipers and Bryan Mayhew, both set school records in the discus at
Aquinas College my junior year. In the same meet, I broke the school record
in the shot put. The discus record was raised from 150 feet 1 inches to
152 feet 7 inches, and the shot put record was raised from 52 feet 4 inches
to 54 feet 4 inches. |
| Why
did you decide to attend Calvin College? |
| "I wanted to attend a college
close to my home that took Christian education seriously, and in my opinion,
Calvin College is the only one that does." |
