GETTING TO KNOW BROOKE
Why did you choose Lehigh?: I loved the size, location, and friendly atmosphere
What’s your favorite thing about Lehigh?: School spirit and Lehigh/Laf rivalry
Thoughts on Lehigh Coaching Staff: The friendly attitude of the coaching staff really drew me into the program. At first, I was a little apprehensive about running in college. But after meeting with the Lehigh gang, I knew there was no other option for me
Major & Why: Biology - I’ve always considered myself a fairly curious person, and I like to know how things work inside my body
