alternate for the state cross country team, and watching my teammates place
third two years in a row at the NCHSAA Cross Country Championship was the best
part of my cross country career. Breaking five minutes in the mile for the
first time was my most memorable moment in track.”
Favorite athlete: “Erik Salgado.
He embodies all the values of sportsmanship while excelling in athletics and
academics. He is an excellent runner and has other priorities at the same
time.”
Inspiration: “I know that if
I show up to practice, I will see my times drop.”

Hobbies: Playing
clarinet, piano, Super Smash Bros., and reading.

Favorite class: “My favorite
class was honors English 4 with Mrs. FB. She is a great teacher who loves what
she does, and teaches very well. The subject matter was very interesting, and I
also made many friendships in that class.”
Future hopes: “Attend a prestigious
university, and earn a Ph.D. in engineering. Engineering would be a way for me
to make a difference in the world. I don’t have it all figured out yet, but
maybe I will work with alternative energy sources to reduce human impact on the
environment. “
