'' BADGERS Ask The
Question of the Week:
What was your first exposure to Badgers sports?
LANDON PETERSON • FRESHMAN • MEN'S HOCKEY
"As a little kid I used to live in Medford, which is about three hours north of Madison, and we would sometimes come down on weekends to watch hockey games. Playing hockey here was something I always wanted to do. I've been playing hockey ever since I was three and Wisconsin has always been my dream school."
JORDAN HELGREN • SENIOR • WOMEN'S TRACK AND FIELD
"During my recruiting visit to Madison back in the fall of 2007, I attended a Saturday night Badger football game (a 17-13 win over Iowa). I remember leaving the game thinking that nothing else in the world could compare to that epic atmosphere of Wisconsin football I had just experienced. Being both a Wisconsin student-athlete and a diehard Badger fan, I wouldn't have it any other way."
DAN AGOSTINACCHIO • JUNIOR • MEN'S ROWING
"I rowed in high school, and my high school went to the Head of the Charles every year. When I was looking at colleges, a coxswain that graduated last year from UW, Anthony Altimari, graduated from my high school, and he encouraged me to talk to Coach [Chris] Clark. Anthony told me how good of a program it was."
LINDSEY JOHNSON • JUNIOR • WOMEN'S SOCCER
"I think my first actual experience of a Badger sporting event was when I came on a recruiting visit. We went to the game against Penn State, which was at night, and it had an awesome atmosphere. I think it was the first time I saw 'Jump Around' so it was an amazing thing to see. That's partly why I wanted to come here, because of the atmosphere."
