Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette due to its unique atmosphere and opportunities. Lafayette offered me the ability to continue to compete in track and field while pursuing my education in an exceptional engineering program.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
The discus throw is my favorite track and field event because I first began to witness my years of practice pay off in the forms of huge throws and a district championship in the discus.
