Siemann was in the class of 2008 at Notre Dame High School in Lawrenceville. Brian arrived at Notre Dame, having no experience with track. In fact, Brian remembers that Coach Joe McLaughlin came to him in the cafeteria and asked if Brian was interested in Track. Brian recalls that he laughed at the question. Within weeks, ND and Project Freedom had raised the $5,000 to purchase Brian’s first racing chair, and Brian Siemann was on the ND Track Team.
