What advice would you give to someone looking to apply to Lafayette?
My advice for someone looking to apply to Lafayette is to get involved with the school and campus. Having friends outside of your major and teammates makes the college experience that much better.

What are you involved in outside of track and field?
Outside of track and field, I am involved with the Recreation Services department. I work for the department and I am a Supervisor. This not only keeps me busy, but is also a job that I enjoy on campus.

What is your favorite event in track and field? Why?
My favorite track and field event is the hammer throw. Even though I do not compete in this event on a regular basis, it is one of the most fun to watch.
