Why I chose Baylor despite the 'Baylor Scandal'

Victoria Powell, 18, was recruited by more than a dozen Division I programs and accepted a track and field scholarship from Baylor University, where she'll start in the fall. She attended The Lovett School in Atlanta, where she was a member of the National Honor Society, won the 400 meter dash and finished second in the 200 at the 2016 Georgia high school state track meet, and helped her school to back-to-back state titles in 2014 and 2015. She was a two-time winner at the Golden West Invitational, a 16-time national age-group sprint champion and received the 2016 Foot Locker National Scholar-Athlete Award.
