Who are your role models? My dad; he is a go getter especially when it comes to running.

Which coaches have had the most influence on you? Why? Coach Jimmy Dowell. I’ve become a much better athlete under his coaching and look up to his skills and accomplishments.

Who is your favorite teacher? Hehe Katie Yoder. She is my stepmom who teaches kindergarten at Pine Tree. She has not ever taught me in a classroom environment but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t taught me. I’ve learned how to grow in Jesus from her.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Teaching kindergarten somewhere and hopefully serving in a church. I also hope to still be running. Maybe I’ll follow in my dad’s footsteps and run a 100-mile run.

Something about yourself that most people don’t know: I’m actually terrified of birds because I was attacked one day on a run.

What will you miss most about high school sports? The family I have grown with these past four years.
