Most memorable meet or race:
My favorite memory was state my junior year in 2013. It was my first state meet and everything was so exciting, not to mention the chance our 4x8 had of winning it all. After some of the most amazing moments of my life, we broke the state record and were state champs. I'll never forget that feeling and am so thankful I got to experience that day.
What I would do over again:
If I could do anything over again I would go back and run track all four years of high school. Although I only got to participate in two years of the program, I am so blessed to have had that time and wouldn't trade my memories for the world.
What obstacles did you have to overcome:
My biggest obstacle was knowing mentally that I was the underdog. Being a newbie to the sport, I was constantly able to use that as an excuse rather than challenging myself to be better. However, with some amazing coaching that mindset quickly went away as my teammates and I trained our bodies along with our minds.
What will you miss the most:
I am going to miss my coaches and teammates like no other, but I'm also going to miss the thrill of competition that can only come from sports. However, I know that I will use the principles I have learned and applied to my athletics and use them all throughout my life when things get tough.
Who would you like to thank:
I want to thank my dedicated coaching who have changed my life with Boyle County Track & Field. I know that our program is so different from any other program in Kentucky and that is because of all the time and heart put in by our coaches. I also want to thank my parents for never missing a meet, always pushing me to be my best, and supporting me in all I do.
Advice for younger kids:
My advice for younger athletes is to cherish every single moment of track, even when what you're doing isn't fun. See a goal and strive towards to be the absolute best you can be.
