Why did you choose NAU?

My high school coach is a former NAU athlete and brought my teammates and me to visit the campus several times after competing in Arizona for track & field. I fell in love with the beautiful campus and the town of Flagstaff. I also enjoyed the team and everyone seemed to have the same goal of winning and improving their running.
