This is the story of
the fourth D.
Discover. Develop. Dedicate. Those are the three promises Division III makes to every student-athlete. The fourth D isn't ours to promise — it's theirs to write. This is how an underdog gets built, one moment at a time. Her name is Hailey.

This story has a name: Hailey.
She isn't a character. A few years ago Hailey was a Division III field hockey player — early practices, packed labs, a stick that went everywhere she did. Today she runs marketing at The Plaid Agency. We didn't have to invent the underdog. We hired her.
That's the story.
