What was your most memorable meet or race?
My most memorable meet was the conference track meet my junior year. I PRed in the 1600 and 3200 that day with a 4:14 and 9:35.
Out of all of your high school accomplishments, which stands out the most?
Winning districts as a team my senior year. It was the first time in 21 years Oakville won a district title.
If you could do it all over again, is there anything you would change?
I would be a sprinter..... But on a serious note I wouldn't change a thing. I learned through any mistakes I made, and I believe everything happens for a reason.
What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome?
Last December I had surgery on my labrum in my right hip, which forced me to miss all of track season. The whole recovery process was difficult, and it was even more difficult watching races from the stands.
What will you miss the most?
I'll miss my teammates and the friends I've made through the sport.
Do you have any advice for younger athletes?
Listen to your body and don't ignore any pains you have. It'll pay off in the long run.
What are your college plans?
I will be attending Washington University here in STL. I plan on majoring in mechanical engineering. I will also be running track and XC.
Who would you like to thank?
My family , coaches, teammates, and friends.
