She’s the most underrated one if she’s not on the top 100 list

Not trying to jinx her - Michelle, with a good year at the plate, could become the all-time home run champ in 2026 as a junior. Not a prediction. Just doing the math - it's possible.

I like to see it when student-athletes have challenging majors with good employment prospects.

during the season. Lots of missed Thursday and Friday classes. Hopefully she has sympathetic professors.
VT women's basketball had a biomedical engineering major a couple of years ago. VT Wrestling, Track and Swimming have also had a few engineers. Kids who can balance engineering and a D1 sport are an employer's dream.

when I entered VT in 1965. It also had a very high “turnover” rate as well….
And no, it was not my major at anytime I was at VT, but I did have two roommates that were in the program - one changed major in the third quarter of his freshman year, and the other, who had a photographic memory, graduated with that degree.

done properly, what you need to get it done properly, but have never actually done it myself.
