Remembering Harvard Athletics
I’d like to thank the Harvard Varsity Club and the Selection Committee for this incredible honor. I’m so humbled to be part of the long legacy of excellence at Harvard Athletics and to join such an accomplished group of inductees. Corey, Steven, Steffan, and Caitlin—I remember watching and reading about your success in The Crimson. It’s a privilege to be in your company.
