#WhyD3: Day 5

Happy Division III Week, Cardinals!

Division III Week is a national celebration of Division III and its outstanding student-athletes, coaches, athletics administrators and faculty. The week provides an opportunity for everyone associated with a Division III institution or conference to recognize the powerful impact of athletics and student-athletes on campus, within the conference, and in the surrounding community.

Throughout the week, we will be sharing why our student-athletes chose Division III. Our final round of responses features Lane Edinger (Men's Lacrosse), Tenley Radogna (Women's Rowing), Trevor Bishop (Wrestling) and Michael Hudson (Men's Cross Country). 

“I chose DIII because I wanted to be able to compete at a high level while also focusing on academics. It has given me a support system within my team, a purpose and a home.” – Tenley Radogna, Sophomore, Women's Rowing

“I chose DIII because it allows me to play the sport I love at a high level while still focusing on academics and my future beyond sports. The balance it provides allows me to grow as both an athlete and a student while also creating lifelong friendships and memories.” – Lane Edinger, Senior, Men's Lacrosse

“I chose DIII for the opportunity to compete at a high level, to create connections with my teammates and coaches, and to receive a quality education.” – Trevor Bishop, Sophomore, Wrestling

“Great friends and great competition.” – Michael Hudson, Freshman, Men's Cross Country
