Name: Sierra Culver
Q: What does your training look like right now given the current situation?
A: My dad and I found an open field and go everyday to throw javelin and discus. I use the workouts and drills that I remember from my past track seasons and the workouts that my coach, Chris Daniels, gave me at the beginning of the season.
Q: What are you doing to stay busy other than run right now?
Q: What was your most memorable race/moment?
A: The funniest thing that happened during my throwing career was a couple times at practice I would lose my balance and completely wipe out in the ring.
Q: Who would you consider your biggest competition over your four years?
A: When I was a freshman, I looked up to a thrower named Donna Borer. I was amazed by how far she threw and how she held her head high even when a throw didn't go her way. When I made it to sectionals, I couldn't get a throw inside the sector and scratched my first three throws. I was so frustrated and on the edge of losing myself. Donna then came up to me and calmed me down. She got my head back where it needed to be and helped me with what I was doing wrong. I then got my last throw inside the sector and qualified to go to state. To this day, I have looked up to her and have pushed myself to throw as far as she did.
Q: What was your greatest accomplishment?
Q: If you could do it all over again what would you change about your running career in high school?
A: If I would do it all over again, I wouldn't change a single thing about my career. I have been blessed with great teammates, coaches, and my support system at home. I have been given opportunities that I am very thankful for because not many athletes get the chance to have some of the accomplishments that I have had.
Q: What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome?
Q: What will you miss the most?
A: I will miss each and every one of my teammates and coaches.
Q: What advice would you give to younger athletes?
A: The advice I would give would be to work your hardest every day because you never know when your last throw, practice, or meet will be.
Q: What kind of an impact has your coach had on you and your team?
A: My coach has had one of the biggest impacts on me. He has pushed me to be the best version of myself as an athlete and as a person. He takes so much time out of his day and away from his wife and two younger daughters to work with me and my teammates. He is the greatest coach that has coached me and I wish everyone had the opportunities that I have had to meet coach Chris Daniels. Everything from his really funny jokes to his amazing life lessons, I will always remember him and the huge impact that he has had on my life.
Q:What are your college plans?
A: My college plans are to attend Missouri Western State University and play college softball there. I am going to study to be a chiropractor and major in health sciences.
Q:Who would you like to say 'thank you' to?
A: I would like to say thank you to my parents, Rick and Kashia Culver. They have provided me with so many opportunities and have been my biggest supporters through everything in life. I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't have the support that they give. They give me life lessons and build me up mentally. They push me to be better each day and remind me every day that I am an amazing athlete and I have to much potential on top of what I have already accomplished. They always want me to be the best version of myself that I can be, not only as an athlete but as an all-around person.
Q:Is there anything else you'd like to add?
