What are your plans after Lafayette?
After graduating Lafayette I plan on going into the work force. I am excited to use all that I have learned and experienced at Lafayette and apply that into my job.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is pole vault. I love the community that pole vault has both inside our team and within the Patriot League. I have met my best friends while doing pole vault at Lafayette and I wouldn’t change it for anything. 

What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moment while competing for Lafayette was my freshman year Patriot League Championships at Navy. It was freezing cold and raining sideways but going through that with my teammates and cheering on the steeplechase runners and discus throwers was so fun. Going through that with my teammates made it really fun.
