If you could do it all over again what would you change about your running career in high school?
I would have started earlier then 9th grade and trained harder in the offseason.
What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome?
Track and Cross Country workouts are really tough, but that feeling you get when you get better and better every meet is awesome and can only be felt with some hard work and dedication.
What will you miss the most?
The competition and my friends I’ve made throughout the whole journey.
Do you have any advice for younger athletes?
To practice hard every day and hard work will pay off in the end.

Go to college and be a vet or lawyer and possible run in college.
Who would you like to say thank you to?
I want to thank my coaches and family for supporting me the four years I’ve done this sport, because without them pushing me I would not be where I am today.
