I knew I wanted to be a Bluejay when: I was blown away by the university and the fantastic group of athletes and coaches I met during my visit.

Interesting Fact About Yourself: I have had some very eventful runs such as stepping on a large snake, finding a lost dog, pausing to let a buffalo pass, being chased by geese twice, and getting lost more times than I could ever count.
Running Superstition: I always triple knot my racing spikes.
Favorite Running Spot: Bubolz Nature Preserve
If I could go on a run with any three people, living or dead, it would be: Sydney McLaughlin, Molly Seidel, and Cristiano Ronaldo
