Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
The Christ-centered nature of the cross-country team and the common goal to honor and glorify God through athletics. That is what drew me to Liberty. I knew I would be surrounded by other like-minded believers who would encourage me in my walk with the Lord, help me to grow in my faith, push me to improve in my running, and use my athletic abilities to serve God.
