Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette for its interdisciplinary programs as I’m studying Economics while building on my strong science background and for its mission to create the world’s next leaders.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is the 800m because it’s a true measure of speed and strength and it’s where my passion lies since breaking the middle school record for it. The 4x800 relay is also my favorite because it’s dramatic and fun.
