UMD Athletics

GETTING TO KNOW EVAN HUSBY:
Why I Chose UMD: UMD has a great program for my major, along with a beautiful campus that I was very excited to find myself on
Influences On My Athletic Career: My parents told me to try any sport I wanted and they said that they would support me no matter what. Along with them, my high school coach had told me since 6^th grade that he wanted me to keep running, so he always gave me a goal
What Most People Don’t Know About Me: My last name is actually pronounced “Hue-sbee” but everyone said it “Huzz-bee” so I just accepted it and now everyone calls me Huzz, and the only people that don’t call me Huzz are my parents
Pre-Meet Ritual or Superstition: I pound a bag of skittles about 15 minutes before the race and I blast the Scottish battle song played in "We Were Soldiers" right before I run
Favorite Professional Athlete: Lebron James, he’s the best in the game right now
Sport I’d Like to Try Someday: Lacrosse
