What does it mean to be a Scholar-Athlete?
To be a scholar athlete means that you not only have to get the job done on the field, but in the classroom as well. Being a scholar has to come first with athletics close behind.
Why Bethany?
I choose Bethany because I wanted to attend a small school. I like actually having interactions with my teachers and knowing almost everyone's name on campus. I also like the location.
What is your biggest accomplishment?
I am hoping my biggest accomplishment is yet to come with a PAC championship.
With COVID-19 restrictions, how have you adapted as an athlete and as a student?
Since I play both football and baseball, COVID resulted in football being moved to the spring with baseball. So, it has been challenging running all around and going to both practices and lifting times. I have adapted to my schedule constantly changing and improved my time management. As a student, online course can be a challenge to pay attention, but I make sure to still take notes and pay attention so I do not fall behind.
A Fun Fact about yourself:
I live on a farm.
