What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite things about Lafayette are the small class sizes, ability to form relationships with professors, sense of community and the ability to compete at the D1 level. 

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is the steeplechase. While I was exploring events early in my career, I competed in long distance events along with long jump, which was tough to balance. When I learned about the steeplechase, I thought it would be a great way to combine my interest in distance running and jumping. Ever since trying it, I've been hooked and always eager to compete in the event. Each barrier keeps me locked in and eager to attack the next one. 

What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moment while competing for Lafayette was the Lafayette vs Lehigh dual meet last spring where I was competing in the steeplechase. I had teammates lining the track on all sides cheering me on and encouraging me to be aggressive over the barriers. It is always a special meet and it meant a lot to me to have so much support and encouragement along the way.
