WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A KID? A watergun.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? Go to college and major in Chemistry or Math and then go to medical school and become a Pathologist.
OTHER THAN YOUR PARENTS, WHO’S HAD THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE? HOW? My sister; we’re 10 years apart and she doesn’t live with us anymore so she feels like she’s kind of missing out on my teenaged life so she calls back pretty often and supports me in all my endeavors. She’s been pretty supportive.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT TRACK? Just working out, mostly, and watching other people compete.
EVENTS? 400 meter
WHAT APPROACH DO YOU TAKE TO YOUR EVENTS? Don’t die in the last stretch. I haven’t run any meets this year. I was sick for one meet and I’ve done some college visits.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEASON SO FAR? It’s been pretty good. We’ve won a lot of meets. I think Coach (Steve) Oury said it’s been our best season in history.
WHAT’S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SEASON SO FAR? Probably all the records that have been broken.
WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT CONFERENCE AND STATE? Everyone continue competing like they have been.
WHEN YOU’RE THROUGH RUNNING TRACK AT BRYANT HIGH SCHOOL, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL LOOK BACK AND REMEMBER MOST FONDLY ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE? Probably how funny everyone is together, and just instilling good workout habits for my adult years.
