NAME: Miranda Mickelson

SPORT: Softball

POSITION: First Base

HOMETOWN: Denver, CO

MAJOR: Biology

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? I'm not sure… It's a big world, and I don't know if it is ready for me yet J

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO GO TO BETHANY? I chose to go to Bethany for its size and flexibility. I wanted to be able to participate in a lot of different clubs and activities while being a biology major and a college athlete, and Bethany allows me to do that

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY FROM COLLEGE? My favorite memory so far would have to be a very general one. I love the fact that when a new face walks into the cafeteria, everyone knows. Our campus is such a community that we recognize new arrivals at our school.

WHAT DRIVES YOU AS AN ATHLETE? What drives me as an athlete is that it has never come easily for me. I learned all through high school that I had to work for what I wanted, and it would pay off in the end. I wanted to prove to my coach that I deserve to be out on the field. Sports are about bettering yourself, and the harder you work, the better you will become.

WHAT IS A TALENT OUTSIDE OF YOUR SPORT THAT YOU POSSESS? I think I am a great listener.

WHAT IS SOMETHING VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? Other people's laughter is what gets me through the day.
