Wingspan: What school did you commit to?
Fish: “Texas A&M University.”
Wingspan: Why did you choose that school?
Fish: “Mainly the athletes and the people and the atmosphere. You can tell that everyone feels like college station is their home and I love that feeling. That is just what I’ve been looking for.”
Wingspan: What aspects of that college specifically appealed to you?
Fish: “Probably like the atmosphere really appeared to me just because everybody was so dedicated to the school and that’s something that I want to be. I love all the traditions and stuff that they have there. I love that.”
Wingspan: What are you expecting from being a college athlete next year?
Fish: “I’m expecting it’s going to be really hard because balancing school and athletics is going to be really hard but I know it’s possible because everybody else has done it.”
Wingspan: How long did it take you to make a decision?
Fish: “Probably a few weeks. Honestly whenever I went to A&M, I kind of knew that that’s where I wanted to go after the visit but I didn’t really make it official until a few weeks later.”
Wingspan: What other schools were you contemplating?
Fish: “OU and Texas Tech was what I was thinking.”
Wingspan: How do you plan on utilizing the rest of the year to prepare for college?
Fish: “Mainly just never stop training. Just keep running hard and stay focused because I really want to be in shape once I get to college.”
