Through running cross country and distance track, I have developed a 'never quit' attitude that also carries over into my academics and other aspects of my life. I am in honors and AP classes and have been on the varsity cross country and track team since freshmen year. I have learned so much about myself through running and being part of a team and would love to continue learning and growing in college! I love the process of growing as a runner and find it so rewarding, and I have learned to not only enjoy the pain and long practices on school nights, but cherish them. I am incredibly grateful that my body gives me the ability to run and make these incredible memories and I am excited to compete at the collegiate level!
