Do you have any pre-meet rituals?

Before a meet, I always braid my hair and do the same warmup routine.

What age were you when you started running competitively?

I started running 5Ks with my dad when I was 9 and began training when I joined Pacers Track Club at age 11.

What is your favorite memory about Cross Country?

My favorite memory from cross country is definitely the state championship meet my sophomore year. I didn’t put much pressure on myself and really enjoyed the whole atmosphere and experience.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I used to dance competitively and loved the acrobatic genre.

Why are you so passionate about running?

I love being able to see my times drop as my hard work and training pay off. I think the sport has an incredible atmosphere and I love that my fellow runners and their coaches are always a support system for each other. I have had such great moments receiving support from and providing support to competitors from opposing teams that I think is really unique to the sport.
