Do you have any pre-meet rituals?

I eat PB&J and pretzels 3-4 hours beforehand. Next, I put on some chill alt music and take a nap right after I visualize the race a few times. I then start my warmup 40 minutes before with two miles and some moving stretches.


What age were you when you started running competitively?

When I was 13, I decided to try Cross Country but hated running until 10th grade.


What do you do to relax?

Chilling with my family watching tv or even reading, journaling, and listening to music.



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

I believe God gave me a gift and I want to utilize it and push myself past my limits.


What is your favorite sports quote?

“To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift” -Steve Prefontaine
