Personal

  • Parents are Thomas and Elisa Muehlhauser
  • One brother, Matteo, and one sister, Rebecca
  • Chose Illinois because, "In my personal opinion, it is the best! The coaches are engaging, dynamic and knowledgeable of both the school and the sport. Also, not many teams can say that their head coach is a former Olympian and that their assistant coach is a two-time NCAA Champion. On top of that, I feel like the guys on the team make me feel part of a family. Lastly, I chose the University of Illinois because by pursuing my degree here, I will be well prepared to handle life outside of college."
