Why did you choose Lafayette? 
I chose Lafayette because it offers a learning environment where I can succeed. The small size of the college, along with the wide array of class offerings, provide me the opportunity to explore different areas of learning while getting individual attention from faculty. 

What is your favorite event in track & field? Why? 
My favorite event in track & field is the mile. I have been running the mile since fifth grade and can say for certain no two races have ever been the same. That’s what makes it exciting to me.
