  1. In two or three sentences, describe why you decided to attend LCC?

I decided to come to Lane because it was the best program in the NWAC and I wanted to be a part of that. I felt that the coaches were going to be able to push me to be better everyday. I played AAU for Greg for a couple of years in high school and I have been coming to open gyms since junior year so Lane already felt like a home to me.

I would go to Belize and go to the beaches all day long.
