Why I Chose W&J: The people!  Each time I visited W&J, everyone I met, from the students, to the professors, to the coaching staff were welcoming and friendly.  I also wanted to continue running cross country, and W&J has a very strong tradition of athletics.  The choice to become a President was easy!
