The segments will be posted every Thursday and individuals are selected by the institution. The WIAC Student-Athlete Spotlights are presented by Culver's.

Why did you choose UW-Oshkosh?
I chose UW-Oshkosh because it was close to home, and I can still be involved with everyone back home.

What do you like most about competing in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and being a NCAA Division III student-athlete?
What stands out to me, being a student athlete in the WIAC is the balance between sports and getting a college experience. Another big part is the team culture. Since there are no athletic scholarships, everyone is there because they genuinely love the sport. That creates strong bonds with teammates and a more supportive environment overall.
