Tell us how your training is going?
It's going very well. We've logged a lot of miles and incorporated a lot of extra strength and conditioning this year, including some weight training and a little swimming and cycling.
What are your goals for the upcoming season?
I would like to be a part of the team that wins the Division 1 Arizona State Championship. Go Thunder.
How long have you been running and how did you get started?
I started running in 6th grade because my parents encouraged me to try it. I also thought it would be a good way to stay fit for the other sports I played.
Will you be competing out of state this season?
Yes, our team plans to compete in the Woodbridge Cross Country Classic in California, as well as the Mount SAC Invite.
Favorite course to run in Arizona?
My favorite course to run here is the Queen Creek Twilight because it's a fast course and I like racing in the dark. There's a lot of great competition there too. The dance party and fireworks are pretty sweet too.
Toughest course in Arizona?
The toughest course I've raced is the NXN Southwest Regions at Kiwanis in Tempe (freshman year) because there were a ton of tough hills. Doug Conley is pretty tough too.
Favorite Cross Country race so far in your high school career?
The Arizona State Meet.
Favorite Cross Country memory?
My favorite cross country memory is going to Champs Camp with the DV team because we bond very well there and it gets us motivated for the season.
When you are not running what is your favorite thing to do?
I like to be outdoors , hiking and camping. I also like hanging out with friends and family, watching movies, and dancing. :)
