What does being inducted into the Hall of Honor mean to you?
The Hall of Honor is a big deal to me. I remember walking past the legendary plaques everyday on my way to swim practice wondering if I would ever be fortunate enough to get on that wall. I have many people to thank for my success at Oakland University from coaches, teammates, teachers, parents, and so many other staff members. It truly was a team effort. I'm very grateful to have had such an amazing host of individuals helping me grow as a student athlete and as an individual. Oakland lit a passion inside of me that I still carry with me today and I hope that future grizzlies take pride in everything they do and unlock their full potential.
 
This year's induction ceremony will take place on Friday, Jan. 24 at the Auburn Hills Marriott Pontiac beginning at 6 p.m.
