What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite thing about Lafayette is the size. The relatively small population allows me to easily form strong bonds with teammates, coaches, professors, and classmates. 

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is the Decathlon. I love being able to compete in ten different events throughout two days, giving my all to do better each time I compete. 

What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moment while competing for Lafayette was during my very first Laf-Lehigh Dual meet where I managed a foot and a half PB in the pole vault as a freshman. With the entire team cheering behind me, it was the most electric competition I have ever been a part of.
