What are your thoughts about the shutdown of athletics throughout all divisions?
The shutdown of athletics is heartbreaking. We were all getting prepared to say good-bye to our teammates and friends, but to leave so abruptly is something that truly hurts. That said, I feel very grateful to have had something in my life that I loved so much, for such a long time, and I will always look back at my time as an NCAA student-athlete with a full heart.

I will not likely have the opportunity to continue competing at the NCAA level.

Kellen Martin, as much as I hate to admit it.
 
Yes or no, milk in meatballs?
No.
