2020 Highlights

Personal Statement

My goals and aspirations for my collegiate career; Freshman All American, Sophomore Top 15 National, Junior and Senior National Champion at the 5K-10K level. I will continue to expand my education and utilize what I learn in college to expand my professional running career. I will be an excellent candidate for any team that gives me the opportunity to contribute 100% of myself in everything required. There will be many differences in my abilities and character in both athletics and academics to my future teammates. My hope to become part of a program that match my personal goals of being the absolute best would make me alike with the team I plan to join. I am a fierce competitor with a goal oriented mindset and will make a difference in everything I strive to accomplish. I am working towards whatever God has planned for me!
