Both schools are NCAA Division III programs, which excites Wood. Ultimately, the Big Red’s offer was too good to pass up.
“I really like the balance between athletics and academics (at Denison),” Wood said. “I feel like it’s not solely athletic focused. I feel like it would be nice to get a full college experience at a Division III school.”
Before that happens, Wood has one more year as a Cougar.
Besides basketball, Wood also plays softball and runs cross country at Cannon. She is currently participating in the latter as the Cougars began their fall sports practices next week.
Sydney Wood is also a key member of the Cannon School girls basketball team and will play the sport at Denison University in Ohio.
As these current times have become increasingly unprecedented, Wood and the rest of the Cannon cross country team have had to adjust accordingly.
As the summer wound down with no certainty of a senior season of sports at all, Wood continued to train, holding out hope she would have one last ride with her teammates.
“Our cross country coach (Paul Borowicz) shared with us a summer workout plan at the beginning of June so we would be prepared for a season in the fall,” Wood recalled. “He was like, ‘I don’t know what this season’s going to look like, but just so you’re prepared for this season, you might as well stick to this training plan.’ So, I stuck to this plan, holding out hope that we would have a season in some form or fashion.”
