Why Wisconsin?
"One of the main reasons I chose Wisconsin was because of the high quality education that offers a lot of options. I am not sure yet what I want to do so I definitely wanted to have options in case I change my mind. Another large part of why I chose Wisconsin was because of the track team. I felt like it was the right place for me athletically because of the great coaches and awesome athletes. After my visit I just knew that this was the place for me. I couldn't see myself anywhere else."
