Pre-game rituals or superstitions: “I do a focused warm-up by myself and then wish the rest of the team good luck. I always talk to Coach right before the start to make sure I know where I should position myself. That’s doesn’t mean it always happens!”
Favorite thing about USM athletics: “I love my team, we are all good friends and they help me get through every race.”
Why did you decide to start running cross country? “I decided to run cross country because I would really like to make it to nationals for the Steeplechase in the spring so I need to build a strong base heading into the indoor season.”
