I think my biggest accomplishment is my 5th place finish in state this year.
 
If you could do it all over again what would you change about your running career in high school?
 
I really wouldn't change anything!
 
What will you miss the most?
 
I will miss the crazy things my team does together--we always have so much fun!
 
Do you have any advice for younger athletes?
 
My advice for younger athletes is to stay confident in yourself. In a mental sport like running, confidence is so important!
 
What are your college plans?
 
I'll be running track at Loyola next year!
 
Who would you like to say thank you to?
 
I would like to thank my parents, because they are always supportive of me. They go to all of my meets, big or small, to cheer for me.
