WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? It means working hard as both a student and an athlete. 

WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I would like to become a high school English teacher and Linfield is helping me achieve this by offering a secondary education minor. 

WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY TIME… Reading a new book, going for drives in the woods or kayaking.
