“After watching my two older brothers run cross-country for many years, in 7th grade I thought I would give running a try. I signed up for Kings cross-country and I quickly fell in love with running and the team.  In my junior year, I realized that I didn’t want my time running competitively to end with high school and began exploring opportunities to run in college.  In the fall of my senior year, I visited a few different colleges and ended up committing to the University of Cincinnati to run and to study nutrition.  It seemed like the best fit for me and I am very excited to have four more years of competitive running ahead of me.”
