Why did you choose Lafayette?
I chose Lafayette because it offers the perfect balance of competitive academics, a strong sense of community, and the opportunity to compete at the Division I level. From the moment I visited campus, I felt a strong connection to the team and the coaches. Lafayette’s support for both academic and athletic excellence made it the right place for me to grow as a student-athlete.

What is your favorite event in track? Why?
My favorite event in track is high jump because it’s the perfect mix of power, precision, and rhythm. I love the feeling of flying over the bar and constantly challenging myself to reach new heights – both literally and mentally. It’s a technical event that demands focus and I enjoy the challenge of getting every phase just right, from the approach to the takeoff to the clearance.
