Favorite XC/Track Memory to Date: My favorite memory so far was in 2019 when my coach got to put a state medal around my neck. (It made me happy to see he finally got to do that for a female high school runner from Kutztown in all his years of coaching).
What do you enjoy most about the sport of XC and/or TF: I enjoy every moment whether it’s painful or happy, but mostly I love the thrill of it all.
Academic Highlights: I rarely miss homework assignments and I am a part of the national art honor society.
Favorite Class: Advanced art; I love the people in it, there’s always good vibes, I feel comfortable in that space more than anywhere else in school, and it’s just overall my favorite thing to do.
I am interested in the following college major(s): Art Education
Career aspirations: Art teacher / tattoo artist
I am looking for the following in a future college: not religious, full of art, good track/ xc program.
My ideal college coach would be: My ideal coach would pay attention to my potential, know who I am before I arrive, and not underestimate me.
The most important factors to me when choosing a college:
1. art programs
2. decent distance program
3. lots of scholarship and financial aid opportunities
Currently interested in the following college(s):
