Running track and cross country is a passion of mine that I enjoy, and also push myself in to be great. I have been running cross country and track since I was in 5th grade. I transferred from Benet Academy(IL) to IMG Academy(FL) for the remainder of my time in high school. I am positive and encouraging to my teammates and I make lots of friends wherever I go. I constantly challenge myself on the track pushing myself and never quitting during workouts and races, and I also challenge myself in the classroom with honors and AP classes.
In just one season (2023 to 2024), I dropped my times from 29.00 in the 200m to 26.33, from 1:01.7 to 59.21 in the 400m (which I am hopeful to break that 60 second barrier soon), and I went from a 2:36 in the 800 down to a 2:23. These time drops earned me the Most Improved Award for IMG’s track team in the 2024 season. I am excited to bring the same energy into my junior year and utilize my season to strength train, build my aerobic base, and continue to take advantage of my foot speed.
