Q1: Name the events you do in high school and your personal records for each.

 Triple Jump- 49.10ft, Long Jump- 22.8ft, High Jump- 6’4, 100m- 11.00sec, 200m- 22.56sec.

Q2: What attracted you to UNC? What made them better than your other offers?

A2:  I narrowed my list down to three schools; that was very difficult to decide.  The visitation made the most impression on me.  Also I had to imagine my life without being involved in track & field and where I would feel the most comfortable without that.  UNC just so happened to be the place I felt like I fit in the most.

Q3: What are you wanting to major in while at school?

A3: Information Science.  Storing, and/or retrieving scientific or technical information.

Q4:  Are you doing more than one event in school?

A4: Triple Jump, Long Jump, and 4×100 is all that I know of.  There are a lot of possibilities for me to do multiple events at once.

Q5: If you could give advice to an underclassmen about pursuing dreams, what would you say?

A5: Never doubt yourself, and do not let other people’s negativity affect you.  I know it is hard to ignore words from others, but you can do it.  No one can stop you from doing anything but yourself.  You let the words get you down; it’s your choice.  Also don’t be afraid of failure.  Failure is a part of success; anyone who says they never failed is not at the top.  When things seem to be so bad and you feel like everything is rock bottom, don’t quit because you’re closer to the most success you have ever experienced.
