Do you have any pre-race rituals?

I always have to wear my cross necklace, Ice baths the night before, and of course going to Starbucks the night before too

Who’s a former WPIAL runner that you look up to?

My older sister Gionnas, who was a 2x state champion in the 3200!

What drives you to get up in the morning and go train every day?

The feeling I get after a good race when I realize all the hard work I put in paid off!

Why are you so passionate about running?

I’m passionate about running because of the way it makes me feel afterwards. The feeling after a run I really didn’t feel like doing or after a race I was nervous for. Running is just so different from other sports. The sport brings a lot competition but also a lot of support.

What’s your favorite sports quote??
“Those times when you get up early and you work hard; those times when you stay up late and you work hard; those times when you don’t feel like working, you’re too tired, you don’t want to push yourself, but you do it anyway; that is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” ~Kobe Bryant
