The Hidden Gem
In XC and track, scholarships are rare at any level. That “full ride”? Mostly myth. Choosing D3 isn’t missing out, it’s stepping into something real and rewarding.
Listen above, but a quick summary of the hidden gem of NCAA D3 athletics, specifically here at NWU. I am lucky that I get to witness this on a daily basis!
Full rides in XC & track? Rare at any level—more myth than reality.
D3 athletes aren’t missing out. They’re stepping into something meaningful.
