Why did you choose NAU?

I loved the small town mountain vibe that Flagstaff had as well as the climate of the area. I wanted to go somewhere that was similar to my hometown. I also chose NAU because I saw so much opportunity and success for me as an individual as well as a team member of the women's cross country and track & field team. There was so much potential for the women's program! I also saw only amazing things from all three coaches!
