Amherst College Athletics

- “I made Virginia Wesleyan my top choice because I really liked the small school aspect. I originally wanted a large school, but after visiting a few times I found out a small school was the best fit for me! It is also in the perfect location to the beach and the NATO-ACT office, where I plan to complete my internship junior year.”
- Selected VWC over George Mason University

Sophomore (2016-17): Did not appear in a match as a sophomore.

Before VWC: Was a member of the National Honor Society and made Eagle Scout at Indian River High School.

Personal: Son of Roger and Melissa Astrum… Has two siblings, Zachary Astrum and Amanda Willenbring.

• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "being on a team and being active, whether it’s volunteering or physical activity"
• People might be surprised to know this about me...: "that I was a Navy brat and have lived in five different states!"
• It's the year 2030 and I am doing this...: "I have completed law school and obtained my JD and my LLM. I hope to be working in an international law firm working on cases that deal with international and maritime issues."
