What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

The best thing I like about competing in track and field, is having an opportunity to run against new athletes, I have also learned how to embrace the process, and using the talent that God gave me.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

I am truly inspired by my dad that has help me to be a God fearing young lady with the help of my mother that I love dearly!!


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

As a student athlete in track and field, there are moments when you have to face adversity, and this year was one of them. I faced an injury early in the season and I came back and was able to still compete at an elite level and break New Balance National freshman record in the 200m dash running a 23.28 and also becoming a First Team All National track and field athlete as a freshman.
