"I chose to attend EIU because of the small class sizes. I also run cross country and track here at Eastern IL, my coach was very persuasive and before coming I got to meet with Bethini Gill who provided examples on how EIU would help me succeed. I ended up choosing EIU to give me the best opportunity academically and athletically."
