I hope to be successful in my next two Cross Country seasons in High School. I am going to my High School Cross Country camp in July. In addition to my school team, I am trained by a running coach most Sundays. He teaches speed work and form.  My brother, Liam, is also a sophomore on the Green Level Junior Varsity Basketball team. My 6 year old brother, Cameron, is a soccer player. My mother played tennis in high school. My father played soccer at Harvard. I want to go to a college where I can be on the Cross Country Team.
