"I'm just so thankful to get the opportunity and the support from KU," Cronholm said. "All the girls have supported me from the first day here. When they heard about me going to the track and field competition, they all were hyping me up and giving me energy to do it."

A native of Ljungby, Sweden, Cronholm qualified for the 3000-meter steeplechase in the World Athletics U20 Championship after recording a personal-best time of 10:07.29 in July. There will be a total of 29 athletes from 19 different countries in the qualifiers of the event.
