Hey Everyone!
Well I am so grateful to be part of a D3 Cross-Country team. It was truly a dream come true when I learned that I could have the opportunity to study and run in college! Even though D3 schools can't give athletic scholarships to prospective athletes to come compete, there are many academic scholarships available. In a way, this shows that there is an emphasis placed on academics. At TLU, we are student-athletes before anything else. This is really great because it encourages an athlete to strive to excel in the classroom as well as on the course, track, field, etc. So, being a part of such a great program is awesome. Everyone who comes out for athletics, in my case CC and Track, are out here because this is what they love to do. So, when I go to practice, I know that my teammates are just as passionate about the sport as I am. This creates so much team unison and long lasting friendships! I love being able to study and compete for TLU, but most of all I love all of my teammates! D3 athletics is great! GO TLU CROSS- COUNTRY and TRACK & FIELD!!!
Thanks for your time,
Libby Gonzales
