I started running while I was in 8th Grade and after a year of running, I found I was good at it. I continued on through High School, making All-State my senior year in both Cross Country and Track. I continued in college running for Indiana Wesleyan University and became a 4-time All-American. Now, my goal is set to be as close as possible to make it to the International stage of running and make as many friends I can along the way!
