What are you involved in outside of track and field?
Outside of track and field, I am a member of SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee) where I represent the track team and meet with student athletes of other sports teams to discuss ways to improve the student athlete experience and connect the athletic community to the local Easton community. I am also the Movember Foundation student ambassador for Lafayette College. In this role, I plan fundraising initiatives and programs on Lafayette’s campus which seek to raise support and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, men’s mental health, and suicide prevention.Â
What is your favorite event in track and field? Why?
My favorite event in track and field is definitely the long jump. I love how technical it is and how I can always keep improving and setting higher goals for myself. In my opinion, one of the greatest feelings is right after a good long jump.
What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?Â
My favorite moment while competing for Lafayette was being able to medal in the triple jump at the Indoor Patriot League championship my junior year. I knew I needed a big jump to get on the podium and was able to jump a big PR which was awesome and landed me a medal.
