Micah

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

What I love most about track is getting to have fun with my friends while doing something I love. I love being able to run my heart out and push myself to see what I can accomplish. Track has also given me the opportunity to travel and see new places that I may not have experienced otherwise. There are definitely moments when track is hard and frustrating, but there are also so many moments that make me love the sport even more.

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

My mom and my family inspire me the most. They are always cheering me on, encouraging me, and reminding me to keep going, even when things get hard. Their support makes me want to keep pushing myself and become better, not just as an athlete, but as a person. My friends also inspire me because they support me, share in my journey, and celebrate my accomplishments with me. Knowing that I have people who believe in me motivates me to never give up.

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

One moment that stands out is watching Micah compete at the USATF Junior Olympics after all the hard work he put in throughout the season. Seeing him continue to push himself, support his teammates, and give his best—especially when things weren’t easy—made me incredibly proud. His growth has shown me that his biggest strength isn’t just his speed; it’s his work ethic, resilience, coachability, and determination to keep improving.
