Jenna Frush has pursued her undergraduate work in pre-med while spending valuable time as a basketball player. But she said her experience in basketball has actually helped her with school. She’s been a two-time ACC Honor Roll selection.

“It’s a different experience,” she said. “But I’ve explained to people there is so much that goes into being a pre-med student at Duke I have so much respect for friends that do that. I don’t think I could do it without basketball. The stresses that come with being pre-med are literally taken away as soon as I walk in here. Coach P does such a great job of taking our mind off school but encouraging us to do well. Coming here and having a different goal to work for takes the stresses away. It’s been a really great thing having that balance.”

She played women's basketball at the same high school (and at the same time) that my son played men's basketball (Northern Durham High School). Great kid.
