Why Trinity:

  • "I was deciding between UT chemical engineering and Trinity. I had reached out to Coach Whitehead about running track and was interested in potentially joining the team. When I had my recruiting visit with Coach Whitehead and the kids on the team, I instantly felt like I belonged at Trinity. I had a second campus visit a few weeks later and before it was over, I texted Coach to commit. For me, Trinity feels like the perfect blend of athletics and academics."
