I found my passion for running in 6th grade when I was encouraged to join the middle school cross country team. Ever since my first cross country season, I was inspired to continue my love for running throughout high school and possibly through college. I always give it my best even through the days I feel the most unmotivated. One thing I've learned about my summer training is that hard work pays off. Every year I strive to put everything I can into training so I can be the best I can be for my team.
