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

"My most memorable experiences have been on our team Spring Break trips to Gulf Shores, and when participating in Nationals. All three years that I've participated in Nationals have been experiences that I will never forget. So many fans, friends and family are there to cheer you on.To me there's no greater atmosphere than that."
Why did you decide to attend Calvin College?
"I picked Calvin mainly because of the great academic reputation that it had. And because it had a good nursing program. I also liked that it was a smaller college with smaller class rooms."
