Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
The importance of Faith, the godly atmosphere, and their desire to seek God's will and bring Him the glory in every situation.

Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
I pray that I would be able to do the best that I can and have the strength to give God the glory whether we win or lose.

Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My older sisters have inspired me to glorify God in every situation and they have taught me practical ways to invite God into my practices and competitions.

What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
Winning State Cross Country for the third time. It was the first year that I truly celebrated and was able to soak in the moment.

Do you have any relatives who are playing or have played college or professional sports? (Names, relation to you, what/where they played)?
My sister Anna ran track and cross country at the University of Iowa and at Liberty University. My sister Marie is a current track and cross-country runner at Liberty University.
