Albion College feels like home, it is full of supportive and happy people. I love every part about it.

What do you like the most about the Albion College Cross Country team:

We work hard for each other, we respect eachother. Going to practice is something I really look foward to each and every day. Every person on the team conntributes in their own unique and special way and I think that really seperates us from the rest. We genuinly care about eachother. We want to be successful but still have fun along the way. The support we give eachother is something truly spectacular, I am proud to be apart of it. Not to mention, Coach Lawrence is an outstanding coach. He puts so much into our training. He provides each one of us a personalized training plan to guide us to improvement. Coach Klingler, probably one of my biggest idols, has valuable experience as a national qualifier and helps set the pace during every one of my workouts. From my teammates, to my coach's, Albion College is truly an amazing and special place to be.  Proud to be a Brit!!
