McKee
 Leads Way in Triple Jump

Julienne McKee had put together an outstanding first three years with the Yellow Jackets track and field team, and then she got even better. With one of the best triple jump efforts in Tech’s history—13.05 meters—McKee claimed an eighth-place finish at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, making her a first-team All American.

Why did you come to Tech? Because of the education as well as the athletics. I also love how even though Tech is in the city, it doesn’t feel like the city once you are on campus.

What’s your favorite memory from your time with the Yellow Jackets? My first outdoor conference meet. I surprised myself on how well I did. It was my freshman breakthrough.

What hobbies do you have outside of sports? I love reading, shopping, traveling and baking. Currently I’m trying to get my cooking skills up.

What’s the most interesting class you’ve taken? Information Technology. We use technology every day, so it’s interesting hearing all the new trends.

What’s your favorite music? Anything on the radio.
