Welcome back to Why Western — Episode 7

This episode features track & field and cross country student-athlete Emma-Kate Watt as she shares her journey from Australia to Western Illinois. She reflects on what it meant to take a leap across the world to continue her career and the experiences that have shaped her along the way.

Watt also talks about finding a true home in Macomb, leaning on her teammates, and being part of a program that supports her both on the track and on the course.

Follow along as we continue telling the stories behind our Leathernecks.
