Knowing what the next move is might not be guaranteed. But being in a place that feels right to assess and later build has defined Christian Patzka’s collegiate journey and shed light on what it means to thrive in Division III.
Patzka hails from Mazomanie, Wisconsin and knew running would be a multi-chapter part of his growing story. By the time he committed to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2021 a plan was in place to go all-out, make running matter and ask questions later.
At Whitewater, impact became institution as his haul of accomplishments were an indicator that he was intent on leaving the program in the kind of shape that he could be proud of with six national championships, 16 NCAA All-Americans, being named to 25 NCAA All-Region honors along with 22 All-WIAC honors — plus numerous school records.
Christian joins the show to talk about his process, decision to plant roots at Whitewater, the components he brought into every race and why he decided not to transfer and test the unknowns at a Division I school.
