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

I loves making friends in all of her sports. She is always willing to lend her tips of skills to others. Sports is a great asset to daily life. Getting to practice on time, take direction, discipline, helping others, team work, sportsmanship, school work, and home life. Sportsmanship is one of my top things, I give 110% in. No matter how physical/competitive the sport gets, you have to have sportsmanship.

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

My Mom is my biggest mentor, she played D1 basketball. My mom was a 3 sport stand out athlete also. We spend countless hours together training. I also love training with the high school athletes. My MawMaw also plays a big inspiration in my life, she is one of my biggest supporters. She gives me the confidence in I CAN! Cody McMahon, is my favorite athlete, I love her grit and athletic skill for the game. I communicate with her on a regular basis. Went to OSU games regularly., then Ole Miss.

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

Making All American in track at the Junior National Olympics. Such an amazing feeling making the podium, top 8! In the whole USA. I’ve made All American every year since 3rd grade, except last year. I was hurt and couldn’t compete. I am currently in Iowa competing as I complete this form. I made it in 5 events. I’ve made so many friends, it makes y heart full ❤️ A past Olympian from my town, who is now a college track coach, attends training sessions and gives me support.
