Bronwyn Parks
Season Planning
Hi! My name is Bronwyn Parks and I am a sophomore at Cornell. I am majoring in biology with a focus in genetics, and my big plan is to go to medical school! I run anything from the 800 to the 5k on the track and field team, but my favorite event is the mile. In my free time, I love writing and doing art, exploring nature, and taking pictures of everything I see. This is my first season on the RYC Leadership Team, and I'm so excited to be a part of such an impactful program!

…there was a future where every kid gets to play, no matter their zip code, ability level, or family's income?
A future where collegiate athletes lock arms with their communities to make team sports accessible for all.
