Why did you choose Lafayette?
Even though I was introduced to campus as a little girl because my parents are alums, it was not until the prospect of me heading to college that I took real notice of Lafayette. I returned to campus in November of my junior year and fell in love in a way that was brand new and exciting. The student body is a diverse mix of interesting people all demonstrating a passion to learn and better themselves all while maintaining a level of mutual respect. The Lafayette track team is a community that shares the same passion and love for the sport as me. The ability to have meaningful interactions with professors who know students by name is compelling. When I’m on campus, I feel at home.

What is your favorite event in track? Why? 
My favorite event in track definitely has to be the 400m. I love this event because I feel it allows me to reach my full speed without being too lengthy or short in distance. It requires strategy but all at a high pace. I am excited to improve on the 400m in college and learn more about racing techniques. Some say it is one of the most challenging races, but for me the feeling when you reach a goal or hit a milestone is rewarding.
