Cross Country

Running for the Norse is a tradition in Julie's family. "I wanted to go to Luther since middle school because I had two sisters who ran cross country and track here. I checked out other schools, but everything about Decorah and the campus -- especially the friendly atmosphere of both -- always drew me back to Luther. "I love the competitiveness of our team. People are happy to be at practices and races and are always willing to put in a little extra work and effort to improve themselves and those around them."
