Berkeley's Austin Snyder on his college choice...

On Thursday, December 11th, I was accepted into Brown University. I will be attending the school and running for the team beginning in the fall of 2009. While my athletic abilities have blossomed in the last year, my desire to attend Brown has remained constant since I was a freshman. My choice was based on taking all of my interests to a higher educational level including my passion for history and the arts. I knew that a Division One school was the best place for me, and Brown was the only school where I could pursue all of my interests. That being said, I will remain completely committed to the Brown Cross Country and Track teams. I have complete faith in the coaching staff, and I am sure that they will help me to reach my full potential. It was a shame that I was not able to show the coaches, and the greater public what I was capable of at NCS and State. However, now that the stress of applying to college is behind me, I can focus on the up and coming track season as well as my school work. I wish everyone the best of luck this season! Go Brown Bears!
