Baseball

First Base/Pitcher

All-Conference and All-Area team member in high school.

I chose Hillsdale College because of the great education and the opportunity to compete at the Division II level, playing against some of the best teams in the country. I also liked the idea of a small school atmosphere rather than a larger one.

I like being an athlete at Hillsdale because it gives me an opportunity to be a part of a team and play the sport I love.

It is important to stay ahead in your classes, especially during your particular athletic season. Playing a sport takes up a lot of time, but you will find time in between classes where you can get some reading or homework done. It is important to manage your time wisely and stay organized.
