Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette College because of its incredible academics. Lafayette is one of the top schools in the nation for engineering. This was an immense reason for my decision. Another huge factor in choosing Lafayette was the small classroom sizes and the intimate setting of the campus. With smaller class sizes I believed that I would benefit from hands-on experiences which I do not think I would get at a larger university. I found this to be an enormous benefit when choosing a school.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
If I had to choose my favorite event regarding running, I would have to go with the 800 meters. Most people believe that the 800 meters is one of the hardest events and I would have to agree with them, however, even with all of the pain it brings me while running it, I find joy while doing it. I like that it challenges me, both physically and mentally and the reward of completing it, especially when you shave off even just milliseconds, is unlike any other feeling you could experience.
