Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
Liberty has always been my dream school, and I never pictured myself going anywhere else. Nowhere else has the same spiritual emphasis as Liberty, and I love that all the coaches prioritize their athletes' relationship with Christ. When I got the opportunity to attend and compete for Liberty, I never second-guessed whether it was the right decision.
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
Every time I've eaten ice cream the night before a track meet, I've also gotten a PR in the meet the next day.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My dad inspires me because he is the hardest working person I know. He always pushes me to do my best and to keep a positive mindset.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
Winning pole vault at indoor states my junior year.
Do you have any relatives who are playing or have played college or professional sports? (Names, relation to you, what/where they played)?

My favorite meal is steak with salad and baked potato.
