Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette because of the extremely impressive balance between sports and academics. While being a Division 1 patriot league school, Lafayette also has a very highly ranked and prestigious reputation in academics. Furthermore, I chose Lafayette because of the small class sizes, the beautiful campus, and the close-knit community. Lafayette has such a welcoming campus, and all of the people are always so nice.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is the 800. The first and last lap of any event is usually fast. In an 800, once you're done with the first lap, you’re already on your last lap. This event is a pure adrenaline rush because there is no time to sit back and settle in. Once the gun goes off, you have to stay on your toes sprinting for the whole two laps. I love this event because there is no time to think during the two laps since the 800 always goes by really fast.
