What are you involved in outside of track and field?
Outside of track and field, I am a Peer Mentor, Peer Tutor, and Mentored Study Group leader, and help staff other sports events.
What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite thing about Lafayette is the small number of students. I know someone wherever I go, and my average class size is about 12 students.
What is your favorite event in track and field? Why?
Since middle school, I’ve tried all the throws and even some distance running and sprinting, and javelin is an easy favorite. There’s just something extremely cathartic about throwing a big spear as far as I can.
