I remember laughing to myself when I received a form in the mail from Harvard track and field requesting athletic and academic information. Hello Harvard” definitely crossed my mind. I knew the school only by its academic reputation, and I hadn t really considered the Ivy League when looking at schools to run for. Fortunately, my dad told me to be open to everything and I sent the return form. Six months later I flew out to visit and was sold well before the weekend had ended.
