Why I Chose Millsaps: While in High School, I was looking far for a college that would challenge me academically and athletically; little did I know that the perfect fit for me was just in my backyard. Despite looking at many colleges out of state, Millsaps kept coming up in my search. The small class sizes, the personable faculty, and the gorgeous campus drew me in. While here, I pushed myself harder than I could ever imagine in the classroom and on the track, and made friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
