Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette because it had the perfect academic and athletic combination I was looking for. Lafayette values academics and has outstanding programs while training its athletes to compete at a very high level. In addition to athletics and academics, I loved the campus and small class size of Lafayette, which led me to choose it.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
I enjoy the 1600 because it is the perfect distance, as it is not too long or too short.
