It took me a while to find my stride in high school. That all shifted when I went out for Track and Field freshman year. I had never run hurdles. I went to invitationals every weekend and freshman year I took third in the 110mH in the league. I grew a lot the summer after freshman year. I started my sophomore year physically bigger and stronger and a better student. I ran varsity my sophomore year until the pandemic shut down California. I love running hurdles! I have never been so focused on anything in my life! Academically, my grades have improved every semester since freshman year. I know I want to run in college! So far this season I continue to beat my personal record at each meet. Right now, my goal is to make it to states and then spend my summer working toward running in college! I want to leverage my love of running hurdles to find the right college where I will continue to grow as an athlete and a student.
