Placed top 4 at the 2018 and 2019 District III XC meet. Finished 20th at the Footlocker Northeast Regionals while contributing to the 1st place PA all-state team at Footlocker in 2019.
Favorite XC/TF memory to date: Getting 3rd at states in XC this year (2019). Running the 4 by 4 and having the entire team cheering for you.
What do you enjoy most about the sport of XC and/or TF: I have made a lot of friends in the sport, and we all are supportive even though we are competitors. I also enjoy the time you get to spend running with friends during training, and the trips you go on with them.
Academic Highlights: My current GPA is 4.200. I got a certificate of achievement in Digital Foundations, a certificate stating Excellence in the Field of Geometry, and a Wellness Award all in my freshman year of high school.
Favorite HS class to date and why: Video and Digital Production, since it was basically a class teaching you how to record video and audio. It was a lot fo fun to make the projects, which were all posted to YouTube.

Other information about me: Other than running, i enjoy drumming every now and then. I play in the school concert band. I also like to snowmobile, and drive a four wheeler during the summer. I am about to be an Eagle Scout in Boy Scouts. My project is a new shot-put pit for my high school. It is filled with stone dust, and I also included three benches for spectators with it. There will also be three rings to throw from, two for practice and one for competition. I was also named Boy’s Cross Country Runner of the year by Penn Live for my sophomore year. They also acknowledged me as “…Pennsylvania’s best sophomore in 2019.”
