"I chose ACU because I loved the teachers, the coaches and the people who wanted me at the school and wanted to help shape me into the runner I am today. I love the community that surrounded me and loved me even when I hadn’t decided where to go to college. I also loved the team and the instant friends I made on my visit that I will forever cherish."

"My favorite thing about ACU is how small the campus is and that I can see my friends all the time and not fell like I never see them, since we cross paths on the way to class."
