First of all, congratulations on signing!

– Thank you!

What do you like best about running track?

– I love the feeling of being part of a team. My teammates are amazing and I love all the support they give me.

Have you participated in any other sports at Township?

– Yes! During my freshman and sophomore year I played soccer. I loved soccer but I ultimately decided to run cross country junior year because I had more friends there. I also run track in the spring.

Are you committed to running cross country, track, or both in college?

– Right now I’m only committed to run track. Later on the coach and I will decide if I am going to do cross country.  

Are you involved in any other extra-curriculars at Township?

– Last year, my friends and I created the Good For the Soles Club. The premise of the club is collect shoes and donate them to homeless shelters and people in need.  Last year the club collected over 300 pairs of shoes.

What does being able to run track in college mean to you?

– It’s another opportunity to keep competing. After college I most likely won’t be running track anymore. I’m glad that Quinnipiac has given [me] this opportunity to do what I love for the next four years.

Why was Quinnipiac the best fit for you?

– Quinnipiac has a really great computer science program.  They offer a 3+1 program meaning I would be able to get a masters degree in computer science in four [years].  

Most difficult part of the college recruitment process?

– I was between a few schools for a while. The hardest part was having to tell coaches from other schools that I would not be going there. I felt really bad about that, so I delayed that phone call for a while.
