Why Leni Koetitz Chose Stanford
- "I chose Stanford because it has everything I was looking for: a strong and ambitious team where everyone supports each other, great opportunities in both sports and academics, and an amazing atmosphere on campus. The coaches are outstanding, and I feel like this is the best place for me to keep growing, both as an athlete and as a person. Stanford really has everything I need to push myself to the next level."
