Personal:
My proudest moment was running a 4:29 mile at conference in high school.
I am majoring in Finance with a minor Econ. My dream job is to be a financial manager for professional sports players or collegiate sports teams. I would also like to create a small personal business for my art.
I chose St. John's because I liked the cross country team and the traditions we have upheld for many years. I also liked how the college is almost embedded in the woods. Of course, the academics and accounting/finance program are very elite.
The funniest moment was when the middle distance squad was doing 400 repeats outdoors on a nice spring day, and while we were warming up a dog came sprinting down a long driveway. The dog scared a couple teammates who later shook it off and continued getting ready. On the first 400 we passed the driveway with the scary dog, and here comes the dog running after all of us down the street. We picked up the pace and it felt like we were running faster than olympians. Eventually, the dog turned back, but there were some funny reactions out of my teammates.
Q & A:
Q: Which coach would you pick to live on a deserted island with and why?
A: Tim Miles because we could sit in silence and be okay with it when needed. Also, his stories would keep me entertained. The great coach he is would help me train for the olympics.
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: 100
Q: Would you rather be the world's greatest racquetball player or have $20 right now?
A: $20 right now, I need new shoes :/
