Xavier Nation Magazine Feature: Conquering Hurdles
Freshman track and field athlete Will Roberts flies over obstacles on the track. Born in a refugee camp in Ghana, he’s had some practice getting over the things that stand in his way.
Call it fitting, or coincidental—or both—that Will Roberts has found the 400-meter hurdles to be the best outlet for his promising athletic talent. Before even thinking of a college track career, the Xavier University freshman had already cleared real-life hurdles, ones that could have kept him from ever reaching the safe spot he found four years ago in high school in Greensboro, North Carolina.
