Great story about a real college star, I mean, a student who stars in all that college offers. We need more such “nerds.”

Thank you for celebrating student athletes, Jane. Drake does this so well. Katie, Anna, and Courtney are Courtney are a continuation of this tradition. We are very proud of every single one of our athletes and our coaches who make studying a priority.

Good for her! I think that is the right choice to continue her studies even if others are advising otherwise. Reminds of a Florida State football player who NFL scouts were high on but he passed up the NFL when he earned a Rhodes scholarship. He took some grief from "advisors" and fans but he too made the right choice. Wish I could remember his name...

Such a well-written piece on Katie. In this day and age, a true student athlete, with the emphasis on student.
