Athletics Spotlight

Currently a Track team captain, I have been a member of the Ramsey Varsity Track and Field team for three years and this spring will be my sixth track season. I have been running since my freshman year. Although I mainly compete in the hurdles, during most meets I also compete in the long jump, 200m and wherever else I am needed. I went out for lacrosse at my old high school before choosing this sport. Running was not even a consideration. After being encouraged by my friends, I decided to stop playing lacrosse and join the track team. I began running distance events, such as the 800m. I found my niche one month before the end of the season, and since then have focused on hurdling! Track has given me my best friends, and given me an opportunity to come into a new school as a sophomore and find my home right away.
