All right, folks, let’s hear from Kyle. As a captain of EMU’s division one track and field team, he’s gonna share how EMU, part of the Mid-American Athletic Conference champions both academic and athletic excellence. With top-notch facilities and dedicated support, EMU ensures success on the field and in the classroom. Take it away, Kyle.

– Hey, Alex. For many people, a university is are home away from home, but for me, Eastern Michigan University is so much more. As a lifelong Ypsilanti native, many of my accomplishments and aspirations have been shaped by the vibrant campus culture and environment that EMU has to offer. Picture this. Early morning track practices as our state-of-the-art facilities, the sound of running shoes hitting the track, and the camaraderie that comes from being a part of a dedicated team. EMU athletics is more than just games, it’s a community where the green and white colors unite us and our pride runs deep. From cheering on our Eagles at the George Gervin GameAbove Center to rocking the block E during spirit Fridays, being an EMU student means embracing the enthusiasm that fills every corner of our community. The support you get from your teammates in the athletic department is unparalleled. It’s about the shared victories, the tough losses that make you stronger, and the bonds that extend beyond the game. Moments like those truly remind me what being an EMU Eagle’s all about. Being an athlete at EMU is a holistic experience. You’ll find yourself honing time management, leadership and resilience skills that go way beyond the playing field. There are great athletic advisors and sports counselors here to help you meet your goals. EMU athletics empower students to be a leader in and out of your sport. My time at EMU and as captain of the track and field program has been woven by diverse experiences and a commitment to fostering positive change. EMU is not only a place to study, it’s a place to soar and a place that you can call home. As always, go Eagles, and back to you, Alex.

– Kyle, you’re not just a standout athlete, but a beacon of EMU pride. Your dedication on the track is unmatched. You are certainly much faster than I ever was. Wishing you continued success throughout the season. Take care.
