Hi! I’m Lauren Bickerdt, a first year 400m hurdler at the University of Michigan. I am native to Detroit, Michigan, and I am pursing a degree in Biochemistry.
As I build my collegiate career, I’m excited to connect with brands that share my values of perseverance, authenticity, and excellence. Competing at the collegiate level inspires me to stay grounded in faith while striving to grow every day. I care deeply about leadership, maintaining mental health, and lasting community impact. I also value healthy living through nutrition and self-care. Outside of track, I enjoy fashion, thrifting, traveling, creating content, and exploring new food spots in my area. For me, it’s about more than the competition, but about representing what it means to stay committed, continue to stay grounded, and keep pushing forward!
