| What‘s your history? | I've been involved in sports my whole life whether it was soccer or running. I have some huge ambitions that I would love to accomplish so anything that can help me reach those goals keeps me going. This is my first time competing for a team other than my school. Gettng All-State for Cross Country would have to be an award that I'm very proud of. |
| Tell us about a memorable race experience. | Although the race itself wasn't a big one, it was still a race that I had set goals for. It was the All-city track and field meet. All of the local schools (regardless of the division and class) got together and competed. The final lap came and I ended up winning the race. The reason that this race has stuck with me is because I proved myself wrong. I got nervous for all the wrong reasons and now understand that it's okay to have self belief. |
| What are 3 adjectives that describe your approach to your sport? | Determined, competitive, and driven. |
| What are nutritional tips you use to gain optimum performance? | I've found that pasta works well for me the night before the event with lots of water through out the previous day of a race. The morning of the race, I have a Shaklee protein shake (chocolate is my favorite) and a banana a couple of hours before my race, simple but it works! |
| Give us some inspiration! | Inspiration for me is support from my parents. I love inspirational quotes. One of my favorites is "Once you're beat mentally you might as well not even go to the start line." - Todd Williams. Concentrate on improving yourself. Focus on things you have an influence over and ignore everything else. Go to bed on time, hydrate, eat well, and ignore the fact that it might be cold and raining. Teammates have proven to be my best friends, we can pump each other up! |
| What is your single most important goal this year? | Qualify and place top 5 in the Track State meet. |
| Complete this sentence: The thing I love most about competing is______________________. | The feeling after accomplishing a huge goal and the adrenaline rush you get on the start line. |

Transition Video (Characters Welcome)Transitions may intimidate some triathletes, not be a problem to others, or some people might not even practice a transition before going into their first race. Regardless of your stance, a fast and hassle-free transition could potentially help or hinder you. At the Grand Rapids Triathlon Clinic

The Art of a Good BreakfastWaking up at 5:45 A.M for the swim clinic, or 6 A.M for rowing practice has definitely kick started my body into accepting food so early. But determining what that food was is a completely different story…

Peak 2 Peak= First Overall Win… Ever!It was a cold and rainy morning up at Crystal Mountain, the leaves were falling and it was one of those days where you wished you were still crawled up in bed listening to the rain hitting the window. The first battle of the day was figuring out what to wear
