Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette because it allowed me to athletically compete at the highest level while still studying to get a top notch education. I knew as soon as I walked down those steps, past the football stadium, to the Kirby Center that I wanted to be here.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is the 3200m. It's the perfect blend between speed, tactics, and endurance. The 3200 also gave me my first varsity opportunity my sophomore year to compete at district.
