What was your most memorable meet or race?
Definitely the 2014 2A state meet when our team placed second in the 4x8!  
 
Out of all your high school accomplishments, which stands out the most?
Being a student athlete and receiving scholarships for performing in the classroom and on the track. 
 
If you could do it all over again, is there anything you would change?
My sophomore year I was really sick with mono and strep which kept me from running. If I could have been healthy that year I probably would have excelled more in both cross country and track.
 
What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome?
Moving to Kentucky my sophomore year and fitting in. 
 
What will you miss the most?
I'll miss the people I've created close friendships with and the family we've created with our team at John Hardin. 
 
Do you have any advice for younger athletes?
Stick with it! You might not be amazing right now but if you're dedicated and put in the time and effort you need to you'll eventually excel beyond what you imagined you could do. 
 
What are your college/career plans?
I'm attending Lindsey Wilson college to run cross country and track. I also hope to enroll in their nursing program.
 
Who would you like to thank?
I would like to thank Coach Core for putting his time and effort into training me and helping me become a mentally strong runner even though he was active duty and had other things he needed to focus on, as well as coach Warsaw for focusing and having faith in our 4x8 team this year.
