What is one experience in your sport you will never forget?

The pasta parties. There was this one pasta party where they brought dogs, and I got really scared because one of the dogs made a weird sound and I jumped on top of the chair. The dog was small though. I don’t know his name, but it was a very, very energetic dog. And it scared me, even though he was super tiny.

What is one of your biggest dreams in life?

My biggest dream in life is to go to the Olympics. I also want to break sixty. That’s my like present dream. I want to break sixty in the 400 in lane eight. I joined cross country so I can get faster and better at the 400 so I can break sixty, then go to the Olympics.

How did you meet your best friend?

Seventh grade ELA class. This girl had really cool pens. So, I took one and then she came up to me. She’s like, I think you have one of my pens. And I was like, no. And then she sat next to me, and we just started talking about anything and everything. And we’re still friends today.
