15 minutes with Kirstie Runion, Bluffton University Icon intern

Kirstie Runion

Where are you from?

20 miles north of Cincinnati - Monroe - just minutes from the new outlet mall.

Where did you go to school?

I went to East Lakota through third grade and then was forced (and cried for a week) to go to Cincinnati Christian. Then I fell in love with basketball and knew I'd never get a good scholarship from a class of 50, so I went back to Lakota. I tore my ACL, missed my friends, and went back to CC. I graduated from there.

Do you have any siblings?
