ADVICE TO CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETES
"Devote more time to your athletics. At a place like L&C, you will always have academics as your top priority, as it should be. The challenge is to make athletics be co-curricular with your studies rather than extra-curricular. It is possible to do both equally well. Most Division-III athletes use academics as a cop-out excuse to avoid achieving all they can in their athletic realm. Have courage, and do both well."

HOW DID YOUR TIME AT L&C PREPARE YOU FOR LIFE AFTER COLLEGE?
"I learned how to learn, and I learned how to think. I learned to be inquisitive, and I learned how to problem-solve."

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE LIKE NOW?
"While there's an obvious overlap between my life as a college student-athlete and my current occupation, I use my L&C experience (both in the classroom and on the track) every day in my work life and home life."
