Do you have a former WPIAL runner that you looked up too?

Grace Henderson is definitely someone I look up to. Not only do I admire her for her running abilities, but I aspire to be the upperclassman she was for me when I was a freshman.

Do you have any advice to young people who want to start a career in XC?

Honestly you just really need to push yourself to start. Starting is the hardest part. Also not applying to much pressure on yourself, pr’s will come with time.

Is there a coach or athlete that you look up to as a role model and why?

Coach Henderson is a coach that I will always look up to. She’s believed in my abilities more than I ever could. I am forever thankful for her.

What age were you when you started running competitively?

I actually didn’t start running cross country until my freshman year. Starting late is definitely something I regret, but I think it keeps my love for the sport very high.

What is your favorite thing to do outside of running?

I love playing basketball. I’ve played on a travel team since 4th grade, and currently play on my high-school team.
