How did you get involved in sports?: When I was little I saw my cousins play sports so that made me want to play sports as I got older.

Favorite moment from athletics: Either breaking my school’s long jump record at our home meet or jumping at the state meet.

A person that has influenced you: That’s tough because I’ve been influenced by very many people throughout my life. I would say however the person that influenced my life the most is my coach Heather Woody. She’s been my track coach and a second mom to me for 10 years now.

Hobbies: Playing video games, going on dates, watching movies, anything outdoors and fixing up my house

Favorite class: Kirkwood speech, Spanish (even though I don’t know what they’re saying), and entrepreneurship with the man Mike McCue.

Favorite movie: Remember the Titans

How are you spending time with school closed?: Eating, training, working on the house, reading and playing video games.

Future plans: I plan to expand my knowledge in business and run track at the D1 level. Eventually, I would like to coach track at the college or professional level.
