What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite things about Lafayette are the community and the hardworking spirit! I’ve made the best friends that make campus such a supportive and encouraging place to live and learn. 

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is the 400m hurdles. The race is rewarding, exciting, and most notably a challenge. The 300m hurdles is the event that sparked my passion for track and field in high school, so the intermediate hurdle distance will always be special to me.
