When Bend, Oregon native Anna Rodgers moved to Spokane, Washington, she decided to try out track with a friend. The long jump quickly became her passion.
"Long jump kind of fell in my lap … fits me and my personality. I think throwing myself into sand just kind of feels right," Rodgers said.
However, the long jump was not her only passion. Rodgers is equally gifted at her class work as she is at jumping far distances into a sand pit. For some, choosing a college major depends on how much free time they will have or if many tests are involved.
