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.

Harrison Black - Mary Baldwin University - Senior - Men's Basketball
"I chose to attend Mary Baldwin for a better opportunity for me on and off of the court. I have family that does not live far from me and that also prompted my decision. I feel as if I have made the right decision and am forever grateful for the opportunity. I am also looking forward to graduating this upcoming May."
