Favorite Sport (and why): "My favorite sport is Track and Field because it's different than any other sport in a way that it is very individual but also a team sport as well. I love how there are so many different events that people have the opportunity to be good at. I enjoy setting my own personal goals and working hard and staying dedicated to achieve them, but also coming together and spending the season with my teammates." 

Best Part of High School Sports: "The best part of high school sports is getting involved and meeting a lot of different athletes. It's a way to stay connected with your school and community while also having a great, fun time with your friends and coaches. High school sports really teaches you the importance of teamwork, dedication, and work ethic." 

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "Don't be afraid to be good." -Howie Jubeck

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "My most memorable moment in high school sports would be getting the chance to play in the state basketball tournament at the Resch Center my senior year. Also being able to receive three gold medals in track and field." 

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "The best part of playing three sports would be there is always something going on. You can go all four years in high school playing three sports and never get bored. It's fun competing against the same schools and some of the same athletes in multiple sports. Playing three sports challenges you but is also very rewarding." 

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "Learning how to balance your time is the toughest part of playing three sports. With something going on everyday throughout the year, it can sometimes be difficult to find time for homework, family or friends." 

Favorite Opponent: "Stoughton is my favorite opponent to compete against because they are good at pretty much every sport which makes beating them that much better (like in basketball)." 

Favorite Professional Team: Seahawks 

Favorite Professional Athlete: Ashton Eaton 

Favorite College Team: The Badgers 

Cumulative GPA: 3.7

Toughest Individual You’ve Competed Against: "The toughest individual I've competed against would probably be Mikaela Grant from Jefferson who now runs for Central Michigan. We ran both hurdle races against each other and occasionally the 4x400 m relay."   

Most Admired High School Teammate: "Rachel Meier is the person I admire the most because of her drive and competitiveness in anything she puts her mind to. She's not only a great teammate but also a great friend that I will always have and look up to."  

College Plans: "I plan to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison to continue my education and Track and Field career while also studying kinesiology."

Activities Outside of Sports: I love to watch movies!

I Find it Relaxing to: "Sit back and enjoy a horror movie with some popcorn."
