Yes. I have been accepted to all the colleges I've applied to and talked to the coaches. I still have to visit a few universities and run with the team.
How did you get involved with the sport and when?
Over my freshman summer. A few of my baseball friends wanted to try. So I tried it with them. I was also
doing it to build-up my endurance for pitching.
Do you have any relation or know someone that has attended the Shriners Hospital?
No
How have you seen the sport change in the state? Please explain.
I feel that it's gotten a lot more competitive but at the same time, I feel the sportsmanship has also increased.
What was your motivation for your final XC season?
I made it state the year before and me and one other girl runner made it from our school this year, so I did it for my teammates. I was also bullied a lot my freshmen and sophomore year so that definitely drove me too.
If there is one thing in the world you could do, what would it be and why?
