Winning the SBU Invite and getting my PR in Javelin, 56.72m

Winning 1st place in javelin at state my senior year.
- Who would you consider your biggest role model over your four years of competing?
My coach Jim Wheeler. He's a great guy and has a great family. He has never doubted me and continues to encourage and guide me.
- If you could do it all over again what, if anything, would you change about your running or field career in high school?
I wish I would have started running and throwing my freshman year (I didn't start until my junior year.)
- What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome? How did you overcome them?
My junior year I was unable to advance past sectionals for javelin due to an injury, so I rested and attacked the off-season hard and pushed myself.
- What will you miss the most?
XC meets
- What advice would you give to younger athletes?
Set a goal and make it happen. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it.

I had several awesome coaches who went above and beyond what's required of a coach.
- What are your post-high school or college plans?

Coach Mark Sabala for introducing me to XC and track. Without him, I would not have had these opportunities.
- Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Nope. That is all.
