What do you enjoy about your event?
In XC and Track, I enjoy being able to push myself throughout
each season and on different XC courses - also having hard core/great
races and great moments with my team and improving my times.
What has been the highlight in your running/throwing/jumping career thus far?
So far, getting my PR at 2014 XC sectionals was a really great moment in my running career.
What’s the funniest thing that has happened to you while competing?
Even though it wasn't funny at the time, my foot got stepped
on which took my shoe off in the first 100m of the 2014 Dash in the Dark
relay, I finished getting a course PR and some peace of mind at the end
of the day.
What thoughts run through your head while competing?
While racing, I think about pushing myself as hard as I can
and how much work I have put into racing my best - also kicking my
hardest and passing the person in front of me.
What other sports do you enjoy?
Along with XC and Track, I enjoy skiing and jet skiing.
What is your favorite food?
I can't choose just one - Sloppy Joes, Steak and cheese subs from Viola's, and baked ziti with meatballs.
What is one of your favorite movies?
One of my favorites is "Napoleon Dynamite."
What would be your ideal vacation?
My ideal vacation would be go to Southern Italy or Abaco Island in the Bahamas.
Who is your role model and why?
I have a few role models - my Mom and Dad, my Sister
Natalie, my coaches Bibler, Fisher, and Farg, and my teammates - they
all encourage me to do my best in everything I do and help me reach my
goals - on and off the race course. Without any of them, I have no idea
where I would be today, or who I would be today.
What do you do to relax?
I usually read a magazine, listen to music, or watch HGTV.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
In 20 years, I see myself hopefully married and with kids, and having a job in the medical field (and still running).
