What age were you when you started competing competitively in Track & Field
I started competing in track and field when I was 14, my freshman year. At first, I thought I was going to hate it and my mom forced me to do it. It turns out that I now love the sport more than any other sport I have ever done.
Do you have a favorite pump-up/hype song?
I don’t have a favorite hype song or anything, but I do have a whole playlist dedicated to track meets to get me hyped up.
Do you have any advice for young people who want to start a career in Track & Field ?
My advice is when you first start out, figure out what events you like the best. That’s how I started out with learning and seeing what my strengths and weaknesses are for the events.
Which brand of Track & Field shoes do you prefer?
I would have to say that my favorite brand of track shoes has to be Nike. I am a huge shoe girl and I feel like Nike must be the best for me.
Which strengths do you believe you have that make you a great athlete?
I feel like I have many different strengths when it comes to making me a great athlete. I am a very dedicated person and I always take the advice I get and try to fix my mistakes. I also will push myself to throw farther and farther every meet I throw at.
