I desire to use my God given talents to compete at the collegiate level in both XC and Track. I am confident that with my dedication, drive and love of the sport coupled with my natural grit and outstanding work ethic, I will thrive at the collegiate level. I don’t look at running as individual but rather a sport to encourage and push one another to excel as a team. I am a high achieving student, possess a strong faith, come from a solid family and am an overall well rounded young man having played several other sports. Both my parents played collegiate sports at the PAC 10 D1 level so I’ve been coached up on the mental aspects of competing at a higher level as well as understanding what it takes to succeed as a student athlete.
