Personal:
My proudest moment in my athletic career so far has been placing 4th in pole vault at the 2017 Minnesota State Meet and 8th in pole vault at the 2018 Minnesota State Meet.
I am a nursing major with a minor in biology. My goal with my major is to work in a hospital setting as a surgical nurse. My career goals for pole vault include vaulting 15 feet by sophomore year and 16 feet by senior year. After graduation I hope to find a way to incorporate track into my life whether it be coaching a high school team, keeping up with track workouts, or staying up to date with the latest track news at SJU.
I chose St. John’s because they had everything I was looking for in a school. They have an outstanding nursing and track program along with a close knit community and a great location. Class sizes are small so you get 1 on 1 teaching from professors and get to develop real relationships with all your professors. The location is perfect for doing any type of sport outdoors at anytime of the year and is a great way to relax and take your mind off the stresses of life.
My funniest memory so far while being on the team is one day at practice we were doing med ball throws for warm ups. All the sprinters decided it would be a good idea to pretend we were tennis players and make the loudest grunting noises possible while throwing med balls. For the next 10 minutes, all you could hear was the sprinters making the weirdest noises you will ever hear.
