The USA South Athletic Conference will once again give institutions the opportunity to spotlight student-athletes each Wednesday as a part of the Conference's #WhyD3Wednesday initiative. In its ninth year, #WhyD3Wednesday allows student-athletes to briefly explain why they chose to attend their Division III institution as well as share some of their favorite things in life. To view this week's submission, please see below and make sure to follow the hashtag #WhyD3Wednesday on the USA South's X (@usa_south) and Instagram (@usa_south) social media platforms throughout the year as League student-athletes share their stories.

Logan Wade - Methodist University - Junior - Men's Track & Field
"I chose Division III because it gave me a chance to continue my academic and athletic career. When I first took my visit to Methodist I knew it was for me because it was a smaller environment with more student-focused classes. The business program caught my eye too as well as the culture on campus."
