    14. Dorcas Wasike on Being the Best You: Motherhood, Hard Work & Success, Kenya, Nursing

    Dorcas Wasike has been on a history-making roll since entering the University of Louisville in 2016. She has made an impressive progression from 145th at the NCAA D1 XC Championship to 14th in 2018 and posted a runner-up finish in the 10k at the 2019 NCAA D1 Track Championship. On route, she has earned many ACC honors, school records, and school firsts.  With some key mentors, team support, and 6 sisters (all of whom are runners including marathon world record holder Brigid Kosgei!!) she has made the move from Kenya, recently nursed a hamstring injury, and always balances motherhood, work, and school as a nursing major with a psychology minor. For Dorcas, its about showing up, working hard, persevering, and just being who she is while finding trust in herself as a strong competitor worthy of being at the top of the NCAA. Watch out world, this rising red-shirt senior still has a full year of eligibility.  2x NCAA D1 XC All-American, 2x NCAA D1 Track All-American School records: 3k (indoor & outdoor), 5k (indoor & outdoor), 10k PRs: 10k 32:11, 5k 15:25, 3k 9:08, 6k(xc) 19:42 Track roster: https://gocards.com/sports/track-and-field/roster/dorcas-wasike/11062 Cross country roster: https://gocards.com/sports/cross-country/roster/dorcas-wasike/11405
