Bochain, McGregor go D-I

Two more members of the Woodstock Academy community announced that they will be attending and likely competing for a Division I college athletic program.

Isabel D’Alleva-Bochain will compete for Brown University in Providence in track and field, specifically the javelin event. Abraham McGregor will be going to Purdue University in Indiana and will also be a track and field competitor in the long jump.

“I’m very excited. I feel like Brown is a perfect fit for me, both academically and athletically, I’m just really excited about the culture and the team,” D’Alleva-Bochain said. “The academics at Brown was what did it for me. If I could go athletically somewhere, I didn’t want to sacrifice my academics and I always wanted to go Ivy League. I’m proud I can do both.”

D’Alleva-Bochain is looking to get into the bio-medical engineering program at Brown.

“I want to major in aerospace engineering and Purdue is a cradle of astronauts which is what brought me there. Their track program is really good for jumpers and as a long jumper myself, that attracted me. I got into Purdue academically and tried to join them athletically and, thankfully, they took me on,” McGregor said.

While D’Alleva-Bochain is staying close to home, it’s a bit of a trek to Indiana, especially for McGregor who is a native of Jamaica.

“It’s a bit of a change but I’m happy with the change. I accepted that change when I came here to Woodstock and it worked out well for me so I think it will work well at Purdue, too,” McGregor said.
