“Why I chose Emory…”:

“I chose Emory because it was a perfect fit for me academically and athletically. The level of academic rigor combined with the great educational opportunities offered in Political Science and Environmental Science departments excited me. The track & field program has great coaches who I knew would develop me into the athlete I want to be and a team that is like a family. The additional excellent athletic support from trainers, strength coaches and more was exactly what I wanted in a track & field program.”
