- Goals for Upcoming Season: PR in Cross Country/Track & Field, and continue to become a better athlete throughout the season and in upcoming years
- Why you first chose your sport: I broke my wrist during my last basketball game of the season in middle school (from taking a charge), so I had to wear a cast. Therefore, I could not try out for softball as I planned. So, my basketball coach suggested I try out for track. I ran track with a cast in 7th grade, fell in love with the sport, and continued on in the 8th grade to start Cross Country
- Biggest mental challenge in your sport: Running is a mental sport, more than anything else. You're only as good as your training, and your training is only as good as your thinking
- Interesting Notes: I sleep with my head covered with a blanket ever since I was little; I am the oldest of three children, but also carry the title of the shortest of the three.
- Brush With Greatness: Breaking the WFHS record my senior year in the 4x400m relay with my sister being a member of the relay team as well
