Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette because I felt this was the best place for me to excel academically and athletically while still having the ability to challenge myself both on the track and in the classroom. With the help of my teachers, peers and teammates I will be able to reach my full potential throughout and after college. I believe that Lafayette will help set me on the most successful path for what I intend on pursuing in my professional career.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is the 100m sprint. I believe that there is beauty in this event because even though it is one of the shortest races in this sport I believe it takes patience to run this race. From the deep breath at the starting block to the lean at the finish line, I have to remember to be patient within my drive phase and run my own race against the clock, not against the people. I believe that the patience I learned on the track has taught me to have patience off the track, as it reminds me to focus on my own skills and weaknesses rather than others, which in turn  gives me a better outlook on life.
