What was your most memorable meet or race?
My most definite memorable meet would be my State Meet. Not only because I got to repeat with my team, but I also got to take home the title of the 110's and the 300 hurdles state champion.
Out of all your high school accomplishments, which stands out the most?
The one accomplishments that stands out the most would have to be having the honor of being called. Mr. Kentucky Track, it just proved to me that my hard work wasn't going unsown.
If you could do it all over again, is there anything you would change?
Yes, I would change me getting a job in the beginning of the season and keeping it throughout the year, I had a goal for myself and having to miss out on practice, because I had to got to work didn't help me reach my goal. I wish I could go back in time and be more dedicated like I was my junior year. I thought I was helping myself by getting a job, but I was really hurting myself now I can never leave the mark I really wanted to leave for my high school career.
What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome?
Having a job and managing my time from school, church and practice. I just took everything day by day, and did everything I had to do on and off the track.
What will you miss the most?
I will miss my team the most mainly because all the love and support we give to each other at every meet.
Do you have any advice for younger athletes?
My advice to all the younger athletes is to makes goals for yourself and do everything you can to reach them, NEVER give up on yourself, & push yourself harder then the day before.
What are your college/career plans?
I will be attending Lindsey Wilson in the fall and I will continue to run track. I will be studying to be a physical therapist.
Who would you like to think?
I would like to think Coach Webb, and all my family and friends for all the support, and my coaches from Lindsey for giving me the opportunity to compete at the next level.
