What do you love about the Track and Field team?
I love the people and the focus on metaphysics. I appreciate how inclusive everybody is, and I am inspired by the determination to progress.
 
What do you want to accomplish as an athlete?
Run a sub-5 minute mile.
Let God run the race, and have the courage to get free of limiting thoughts about self.
Be a joy for my team-mates and coaches.
 
How do you balance athletics with academics?
Wait, there’s academics? Just kidding. Balance suggests weights on opposing sides. I like the “24 Hour Runner” mindset that is promoted on our team- that we apply prayerful, conscientious diligence and excellence to everything that we do. I see all of my roles and responsibilities at Principia as opportunities to demonstrate my gratitude for being here and getting to have this incredible experience. I also plan ahead and get plenty of sleep.
