Interesting Story
For most of my time in college I didn’t think I would continue to run competitively after graduation. I always said I would eventually run a marathon, but I wouldn’t want to have to run it fast. Well, here I am a few short years later, preparing to run my first ever-marathon at the Olympic Trials. Life comes at you fast!

Favorite Running Memory
Running a 50-second personal best in the 5k during my 5th year at Temple. It was a moment where I achieved something I didn’t know I was capable of and made me want to continue racing after college.
