Lise Ogrodnick's Georgetown Experience (Class of '09)

My twin sister was one of the best high school runners in Canada. I was miles behind her. Many D1 schools treated us differently while we were being recruited, Georgetown did not.

From the moment I put on my blue and gray uniform, the coaching staff did everything they could to help me compete to my full potential. They were tough on me when I doubted myself. They would not accept me being second best anymore. They pushed me out of the comfort limit that I lived in during my high school days, and they taught me what hard work and dedication really meant. I became a stronger person because of Georgetown track, and I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to represent The Hoyas.

Throughout my time at Georgetown, I went through many ups and downs. Coach Henner was there cheering me on through all of it.
