Why TIU?: "I chose TIU because their purpose is to glorify God in all aspects of life. This was clear when I visited the cross-country team my senior year of high school. The close-knit community has a great vibe! I'm looking forward to growing in my relationship with the coaches, team members, and most importantly, with God.
