General
UNIVERSITY CHOICE
She was due to start attending Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, United States of America, in the 2021/22 academic year. She will represent the university in NCAA Division One cross-country running and says she chose to attend Lipscomb University in part due to the athletics opportunities. "When I was looking at different colleges, there definitely could have been some other big-name schools, or big state schools. But I really felt that Lipscomb was a place that I could grow academically, athletically, and in my faith. I really just felt a good fit with their coaches, that they were invested in me as a runner and not just a name on a roster."
