I am a senior at Illinois State University competing on the Women’s Track & Field team and am a high jumper. I’m majoring in Food, Nutrition & Dietetics and plan to become a registered dietitian post-graduation. I am currently expecting my first child in August 2022 and am a type 1 diabetic. I have never let my disability stop my athletic career from soaring and will continue to beat the odds, daily. I advocate for the diabetic community as well as first time moms, especially in the collegiate field. My athletic accomplishes consist of 2020 MVC Indoor Conference Runner Up, 2021 MVC Indoor Conference Runner Up, 2021 MVC Outdoor Conference Champion, 2021 Regional Qualifier, 2021 MVC Athlete of the week, 2022 MVC Scholar-Athlete Award Web Articles: https://goredbirds.com/news/2021/12/9/track-field-mvc-scholar-athlete-spotlight-features-grace-daun. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N27qA9s47e4
