What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
Ever since I arrived at Lafayette, I’ve been welcomed by everyone I’ve come into contact with.  Everyone here is extremely nice and willing to go out of their way to make your day better.  This is especially evident when interacting with the staff.  Small class sizes really allow you to connect with your professors instead of just becoming another number on the class roster.  Every single professor I’ve had has gone out of their way to help me, whether it be difficulty with material in a class, or just general advice to make your time during college easier. Also, Simon’s Deli is absolutely fantastic, and if you’re not a frequent visitor there, you’re missing out.
 
What is your favorite event in track and field? Why?
Ever since I started running it during my freshman year of high school, I’ve always loved running the 3000m run indoors.  Many people shy away from it because it’s 15 laps of constant chaos, but I’ve always found it to be a nice change of pace from some of the shorter indoor races. 
 
What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My most memorable moment while competing for Lafayette was undoubtedly running at the Patriot League Indoor Championships in Annapolis during the winter of freshman year.  This meet has a whole different atmosphere that was unlike anything I had ever been a part of before.
