GETTING TO KNOW NICK
Nickname: Nick
Why did you choose Lehigh?: Lehigh is a very competitive school academically and athletically; both things that were very important to me in my college search.
What’s your favorite thing about Lehigh?: The campus is gorgeous and I actually like the hills.
Thoughts on Lehigh Coaching Staff (Coach Etters): Every time I sit down and talk with him it always turns into an hour and a half long conversation about my life as a runner and how much I love running so it's safe to say he's a pretty awesome dude.
Major & Why: Bio-Engineering to become a Physical Therapist
Favorite Food: BLT with avocado from Salad Works
Favorite Musical Artist: Probably Lil Dicky or Travis Scott
Favorite Movie: Hotrod
Favorite TV Show: The Office
Favorite place to study: My desk
Favorite thing to do on a rainy day: Watch The Office and drink coffee in bed.
Biggest sports accomplishment: 19th Place Finish at the PA State Meet
Place I'd Like To Visit: I've been to Spain but I want to see more of Europe. I would like to go to Germany to see the German Car Museums and drive on the Autobahn.
Dream Job: Team test driver for the Formula 1 Mercedes AMG team car.
If I Didn't Run Cross Country, I Would Play: Baseball (even though as a runner, I lack most basic forms of motor coordination)
If I Had $1 Billion, I Would: Build my dream Ferrari and get my future life secured. I can't spend that much money if I tried so I'd probably give most of it away to charity.
