Why Wisconsin?

“Growing up in Wisconsin, I was born a Badger Fan. The atmosphere at UW-Madison is like nothing else. The great pride presented at UW-Madison is unmatched in both academic and athletic settings. I chose Wisconsin because I knew I would get pushed to achieve great things on the track and in the classroom.”
