Athlete Q and A: Women's Track and Field: Latasha Essien

1. What does it mean to be a student athlete here at SPU?
"To be a student athlete means to have a crazy schedule. Between class, practice, competitions, homework, eat, and sleeping, it doesn't leave much time for anything else. I think that athletes must be great time managers to be able to be effective both in the classroom and on the court/field."

2. What is your favorite moment at SPU?
"The best moment is freshman year when it snowed winter quarter and we had a huge snowball fight in front if Ashton hall!!! There was like 200 or so people."
