What does it mean to you to be a Davidson student athlete?
It means I have the unique opportunity to represent the best about my college through my passion and performance every time I toe the starting line.
What is unique to you about being a Davidson student athlete?
I get to do what I love every day—running and training every day with an outstanding group of guys that above all else share my aspirations for the program and push me to achieve my personal goals.
What would you like to say to donors who make your experience possible?
I would like to say thank you for all of your support both financial and on the race course. Without your help our program could not have achieved such a level of excellence.
If you could talk to tall the alumni members of your team to motivate them for the Wildcat Top 21, what would you say?
I know you guys follow every race and you’re our biggest supporters. Having been in our spikes you know how far every donation you give to the DAF will go. Thanks for your support so far and let’s keep it rolling for the guys who will be pounding on the trails tomorrow.
