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

What I love most about track is the hype on race day, the hard training, and the satisfaction of seeing myself get faster. Every workout pushes me to be better than I was yesterday. I enjoy competing against great athletes because it motivates me to improve. There’s no better feeling than crossing the finish line knowing all the hard work paid off.


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

I’m inspired by athletes like Tate Taylor, Blake Hamilton, Christian Coleman, Quincy Wilson, Jayden Deleon, Jakobe Tharp, Samuel Ogazi, and many others because their work ethic, discipline, and success show what’s possible through dedication. My biggest inspiration is also my parents and my sister because they support me every step of the way and always push me to be my best.


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

Seeing me run makes my family proud because they know how much time, effort, and sacrifice I put into becoming the best athlete I can be. Watching all the hard work from practices, workouts, and meets come together reminds them that dedication always pays off, and it motivates me to keep chasing my dream of earning Division I track offers.
