What do you enjoy about your event?
The one thing I enjoy most about the 300 meter dash is how
unpredictable the race is. Without the proper endurance training, speed
will only get you so far. In my opinion, the last 100 meters is not only
the toughest but the most exciting part of the race.
What has been the highlight in your running/throwing/jumping career thus far?
For years my relay and I had our eye on the 4x200 relay
section record. My sophomore year at the Brockport Invite my relay then
consisting of Lauren Sullivan, Allie Mazur, and Ashley Grazen finally
broke that record. As we all ran up and hugged each other it was a
moment and feeling like no other.
What’s the funniest thing that has happened to you while competing?
It was my first high school race running the 4x200 and while
receiving the handoff my teammate couldn’t reach me and yelled “stop!”
Instead she meant slow down but I took it literally and ran off the
track!
What thoughts run through your head while competing?
While racing I keep reminding myself of how much I want that
personal record and how badly I want to win! I keep an optimistic mind
whether I am in the lead or not.
What other sports do you enjoy?
During the summer in Middle School I played for the
Lancaster tennis summer program! My favorite part was the end of the
year picnic where I sang and danced for the talent segment!
What is your favorite food?
No matter what time of day pancakes can always fit into my meal!
What is one of your favorite movies?
Hands down "Titanic" with Leonardo Dicaprio, that will always be my go to movie!
What would be your ideal vacation?
As long as my feet are in the water, and my hands are in the sand! The Florida sun will always the vacation spot for me.
Who is your role model and why?
My role model is my mother because she has given me endless
love and support throughout my life, I’m fortunate enough to also call
her my best friend. I strive to be like the kind-hearted woman she is
every day.
What do you do to relax?
When I get free time, I like to relax by watching covers of singers on Youtube! I love hearing different renditions of songs.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
I hope to see myself as a Marketing Communications Manager! Coming home to a loving husband and a few kids!
