Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette because I felt myself fitting in the most here. The small class sizes allows me to get a better, more personalized education along with the already outstanding track record their engineering program has. To top all of that, the team bond is strong and one that will allow me to reach my full potential.
What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is the mile. To me the mile is the sweet spot between what feels like an all out sprint and a long paced race. It requires mental grit but you also have to shut your brain off and just run. I always have the most fun while racing it, and the best memories of my high school career have revolved around this event.
