Favorite Sport: "Cross country because it is simply one race with 800-meter runners, 1,600-meter runners and 3,200-meter runners all combined. There is this massive start line where all of the runners line up together and sprint down a stretch onto the course followed by a series of uphill and downhill runs and in the end there is only one winner."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "Freshman year at the cross country sectionals, it was a COVID year and we had to race against all Division 1 and Division 2 competition and it was split into two sections and just the top five advanced to state. I ran a great race and got fourth and advanced to the state meet."

Which Person or Persons Have Served as Positive Role Models: "My dad because he's the reason I keep striving to be the best I can be and holds me accountable. This past cross country season, he would go with me to the track and do workouts at 5:30 a.m., rain or shine."
