RALEIGH, N.C. — The university's men's and women's basketball teams made the Final Four, the baseball team made the College World Series and Abby Lampe won the cheese rolling competition again.
"I'm widely known as the cheese girl now," Lampe laughed. "I love NC State. I love the NC State community, so it's been great to have them get recognized."
Okay, so cheese rolling isn't quite on the level as our national pastime, but Lampe has brought her own brand of innovation to Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake in Gloucester, England.
"I studied industrial systems engineering," Lampe explained. "A lot of that deals with a lot of preparation and striving to do your best and understanding the things you can control."
