Allison Walker ’08 did more than just
hang out with Mickey and friends at the
11th annual National Collegiate Athletic
A ssociation ( NC A A) Foundation
Leadership Conference May 27-31 in
Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The track and
field standout gained new perspectives
on her life as a student-athlete during a
leadership conference.
“The conference was a blast,” Walker
said. “It was very rewarding, and I
learned a lot of interesting information.
It was a great way to make new friends,
as well as learn about others and
yourself.”
Walker is a three-year letterwinner in
track and field, and she has multiple All-
North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC)
designations to her credit in throwing
events. Her specialty is the hammer throw,
and she is the indoor and outdoor school
record-holder in the event.
Walker, who was selected for the
conference from a pool of more than
1,300 nominations , is the sixth
Wittenberg student-athlete to attend
the event, annually billed as one of the
largest non-competitive gatherings of
NCAA student-athletes from Divisions
I, II and III.
