What is your favorite OUET memory?

My favorite OUET memory was probably the first Lake Erie show during my freshman year. The car ride there, the love pad in the hotel, sleeping on Athens (my cot), the hotel worker thinking I was "special", and everything else that happened that weekend! It was a fun first show away from Ohio University.

What is your favorite Athens eatery?

Even though it is not an "Athens original" I'm going o have to say Chipotle.

Why did you decide to join the team?

I wasn't ready to give up riding just because I came to college. I also thought it would be fun!
