Lafayette College Athletics

Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette because of its strong academic reputation, the opportunity to compete at the DI level, and the welcoming community I got to know during my visits. The coaches and students that I met made it clear that Lafayette is a place where I can grow both in the classroom and on the track.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event is the 800 because I think that it is the perfect mix of sprinting and distance. It is very fast and exciting, but there is still strategy involved.
