- Why Tennessee: “I chose Tennessee because of the uplifting, determined, and supportive environment that the community holds. Not only is the distance team a hard-working and supportive group of individuals, but so is the school as a whole. The team has big goals that align with what I want to achieve in my running but also academic career. I’ve always wanted to be part of a school that inspires each other as well as others around them.”
