Personal Statement
I am a keen Track, Road, and Cross Country runner from Lower Hutt. Running has been my passion since I was 10, and I’ve always carried big ambitions. I go to Hutt Valley High School, and train 6 days a week. I enjoy getting out in nature, and also bringing my competitive side on the track. I train in Wellington with coach Evan Cooper. Unfortunately, in April of 2015 I had a stress fracture in my back which has put me out of competition for the past two years, but thankfully due to discovering the importance of nutrition, strength and listening to your body; I have just been able to start racing again. I carry goals such as representing my country, making an Olympic/world championship final, and breaking a national record.
