Why Is Being A Hornet Important To You?: Being a Hornet is important to me because being able to call myself a collegiate athlete is something that not very many people get to do. I take pride in the hard work that myself, my teammates, and all of the athletes at LC put in to make their team, and ultimately our school better. Lynchburg is a great place where you can receive a great education, and high level competition, its the best of both worlds!
