Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I wanted a small liberal arts college like Mac where I could really connect with professors and classmates and dive deeper into learning. I was impressed by Macalester's strong geography department, its focus on internationalism and its unique location in a major metropolitan area. As far as XC/Track, I was impressed by Coach Schofer's vision for and commitment to building a strong, devoted team.

What has your experience at Macalester meant to you?
I've been able to make lots of valuable friendships and relationships, especially with my teammates, and to challenge myself personally, academically, and athletically.

How has your experience as a student-athlete at Macalester prepared you for life after graduation?
Seeing the growth of our team since my freshman year has been incredible, both athletically and team culture-wise. It's shown me that a lot of times in life you have to embrace every step of whatever journey you are on, and that you can push yourself to your limits and have a lot of fun at the same time!
