Q: What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
A: Cookie two-step it's vanilla with Oreos and cookie dough (Editor's note, gonna have to check this one out!)
Q: Where are you planning to attend college? Or do you have other post high school plans?
A: South Alabama
Q: Do you plan to continue competing in track and field or cross country in college?
A: Yes
Q: What is your favorite event to compete in and why?
A: The 110 hurdles because it's so unpredictable, anything can happen once the gun goes off. Also I don't know how to run with nothing in the way, the hurdles make it easier!
Q: Do you have any pre-race/competition rituals or superstitions?
A: I listen to a playlist I made to help lock in. Home and Stick by JID are my go to pre meet songs.
Q: Which track or cross country meet was your favorite and why?
A: New balance indoors this year had the best atmosphere out of any meet I've ever been to. Winning the hurdle relay and being a national champion made it that much better.
Q: What is your favorite memory or highlight from your time on the track and field or cross country team?
A: Hanging out with my team in the condos at the state meet always lead to some great moments. There was something that made the trip memorable all four years.
Q: Is there anyone you'd like to give a special shout-out to?
A: Marlon and Brittley Humphrey, I couldn't have gotten to be the hurdler I am today without their coaching.
