Personal:

My proudest moment in my athletic career was breaking 20:00 in the 5k as an 8th grader.

I am undecided with my major. After graduation I hope to get a job and live somewhere nice.

I chose St. John’s because it is far enough away from home to avoid my siblings, but close enough to see my parents. Additionally, I chose this school because of the campus and its alumni connections.

My funniest memory while being on the team so far was watching a relay team run out of steam and softball pitch the baton instead of passing it by hand to the next leg.

Q & A:

Q: Which coach would you pick to live on a deserted island with and why?

A: Tim Miles, I would stay entertained.

Q: If you were in the coliseum and were challenged to fight wiener dogs, what is the highest number of wiener dogs you could defeat?

A: I figure I can handle at least 20ish before I lose an arm. Then another 10ish before the other arm goes... maybe 5 more that I can take before they knock me over? 35 total and I'm a goner.

Q: Would you rather be the world's greatest racquetball player or have $20 right now?

A: Who needs $20 when you can spend all of your time hanging out with people who take out their dentures before they play?
