Alex Mitchell is a junior from Holland, Michigan.

Q: If you had to outrun a serial killer or a bomb, which would you choose?

A: I would rather run away from the serial killer. I think I could outrun a serial killer pretty easily, but I’m not so sure about a bomb.

Q: Could you play any other sports at the collegiate level?

A: I played basketball for a long time but don’t think I’d make it at the college level. If pickleball was a collegiate sport than maybe I would give that a try.

Q: What animal do you realistically think you could beat in a race who would still pose a threat?

A: I would want to race a goat. Goats eat anything, like me. They also aren’t known for their speed, but could surprise you.

Q: Is it true you have a lucky pair of socks?

A: Yeah, I’ve had them since my junior year of high school, but a teammate of mine tore a hole in them during our last race with one of the spikes on his shoe.
