Favorite Sport: "This has always been the hardest question for me to answer because I enjoy every sport I play. If I was forced to choose just one sport, I would have to pick track to be my favorite sport because being able to throw yourself 15 feet in the air is such a rush. I do other events as well, and all of the members on the track team are all fun to be around, which makes it like a family."

Best Part of High School Sports: "The best part of high school sports is the feeling that you get after you win a game or event, and knowing that you represented your school the right way. It's nice to know that all of the hard work that you put in the off season payed off for the moments like that."

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "The best advice I have received from a coach would be my senior year of soccer when coach Provan told us that retaliating is the worst thing you can do because the referee always sees the second person."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "My most memorable moment in high school sports would be when I took second at state in the pole vault my junior year. Being able to compete in front of thousands of spectators was an awesome experience."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "The best part of playing three sports is the fact that I have played with so many people and I have made so many friendships with those guys. I have always enjoyed being active in my life and playing three sports allows me to stay active year round."

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "The toughest part of playing three sports is the amount of time it takes up. Having to go to practice every day and having a game or meet every other day takes up a lot of time. This can get hard to finish all of my homework and study for tests."

Favorite Opponent: "My favorite opponent will always be Menomonee Falls because they have been our rival school for a very long time. Everyone always likes to come watch the games whenever we play the Falls because whoever wins always has some bragging rights against the other team."

Favorite Professional Team: "My favorite professional basketball team is the Golden State Warriors because they are always so fun to watch. They have the best player in the world (Steph Curry) on their team and he is the most exciting player to watch that I have ever seen. I don't find watching soccer very enjoyable because the games take too long for me to stay interested."

Favorite Professional Athlete: "My favorite professional athlete would have to be Stephen Curry just because he is so fun to watch. I like to watch their games as much as I can, but usually the start is too late for me to finish the game. He has the ability to shoot the ball with tremendous confidence and play as a team player as well."

Favorite College Team: "My favorite college team is Wisconsin because I have been watching them my whole life. I watch them during the football season as well as the basketball season. They are usually good in both of those sports, which makes them even better to watch."

Cumulative GPA: 3.76

Toughest Individual You've Competed Against: "I can't really think of a toughest individual to play against because I have played against so many different teams that there have been a lot of very tough opponents."

Most Admired High School Teammate: "My most admired high school teammate would have to be Michael Barnes. He played four sports throughout his high school career and has been one of my closest friends since we started to run track together."

College Plans: "I will be attending the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater to pole vault. I want to major in mathematics and study actuarial science."

Activities Outside of Sports: "I volunteer at my church a lot. I have been on three different mission trips with them, and I have also run a program called the Giving Tree, which is where we collect presents and give them to families who can't afford to buy their children presents for Christmas."

I Find it Relaxing to: "Sit down and do nothing. Being in three sports can take a lot of your energy, but being able to just sit down and relax is the best feeling."

Favorite TV show: How I Meet Your Mother

Favorite Movies: Transformers series

Favorite Musical Artists: "I enjoy listening to country music a lot, but my favorite artist would have to be the Zac Brown Band."

Favorite Subject: "My favorite subject is obviously gym class because you are getting a grade on how much you participate in the activities, and it is a good opportunity to not worry about other academics."

Favorite Restaurants: Buffalo Wild Wings

Favorite Website: YouTube.com

Other Family Members: Three older sisters who are 20, 22 and 27
