A two-sport athlete -- Michelle is also a member of the Norse basketball team -- she has been Luther's top 400 meter hurdler the past two years.

"The track and field team has been like a second family. I love all the coaches and the support they give me throughout practice and races. You couldn't ask for a better group of people! Participating in the Iowa Conference championships and earning all-conference honors in the 4 x 400 my first year and reaching the finals of the 400 meter hurdles as a sophomore, have been two of my most rewarding experiences thus far."
