#KnowYourComet: Lillian Albaugh

November 4, 2020

With only a few athletic teams competing this fall, we knew the Olivet College fans are going to miss sports just as much as our student-athletes, coaches and athletic staff. We are hoping to fill that void by having some special content on our website throughout the semester. On Wednesdays, you will get to #KnowYourComet through some questions and answers with a current Olivet College student-athlete.
