Working and having to leave practice early was my biggest obstacle.

Who would you like to say thank you to?

I'd like to thank the team for giving it all they had every race and practice and my family for coming to most of my races to support me and my team. Also, I would like to think Isaac for being able to handle us and couch us to state and making this year an amazing senior year.
