Q&A和凯尔
- Why do you enjoy being a student athlete at 南?
Being a student athlete requires me to spend a lot of time dedicated to practicing between classes, but there are many rewarding moments. 我是社区的一份子 I’ve made life-long connections with teammates and friends. - What do you want to be in the future?
I hope to take my pole vaulting career as far as I can, and after that, I’m most interested in physical therapy and chiropractic care. - 你为什么选择南方?
Niel Giliomee, who is also from 南 Africa and a former teammate, helped me decide 在南. I ultimately chose 南 because it is a smaller school, and I felt like I would be more than just a number on a team.
