Why: I chose
to attend South Dakota State because it was all I wanted in a school. Over the
summer it was very stressful with the college process and at first I wanted to
go far from home and was looking at west coast and southern schools. Then about
after a month of talking to coaches I decided I wanted to be close to
home, small school, good academics and has a good program. One of the thing I
really liked about SDSU was the team, they made me feel important and welcome.
It reminded me of my team at Washburn. The coach also had success and made it
to the Olympics in the marathon, he too attend SDSU. They also have a lot of
successful runner with 4 all american in the past 3 years for cross country.
The team is developing into something great and I want to be a part of that
legacy that is being made there. I also got the chance to meet my new teammate
at nxn he got 19th and we were able to connect and we hit it off. Like I said
they are building up a good team and one day I want to look at the NCAA and see
SDSU getting top finishes and being able to say I was a part of that when I was
younger.
