Cornell University Athletics

Why Young Chose Cornell: I chose to come to Cornell for the opportunity to succeed at the highest levels possible in both academia and athletics. Cornell was my dream school from a young age, and as I learned more about the school, team, and culture, I knew that this was the place for me. The opportunities here are endless and the community of people who are passionate about what they do is a key part of why Cornell stood out to me. Above all Cornell offers me a place to be surrounded by and learn from dedicated people who are also striving towards further athletic and intellectual development.
