What was the highlight of your season? Winning Division II states for the third time during my high school cross country career.
Who was the unsung hero of your team? I think we have two unsung heroes on our team, River Groves and Tanner Richards. River has come a long way since the beginning of the season, not to mention he barely trained over the summer. He stepped up and without him we would not have been even close to as successful. Tanner is the leader of the team and is always the one to put plans together. He has focus and determination that the team could not have won without.
What was the biggest surprise of the season? The biggest surprise of my season was when I managed to break 16 minutes at Brown Invitational. I knew I had a shot I just managed to capitalize on it that specific day.
Do you have any sports superstitions? If so, what are they? I do have some superstitions and one of them is that I must always wear the same brand of socks every race.
What’s your favorite pre-game meal? My favorite pre-game meal is pasta and chicken the night before the race. I also have a bagel every morning before the race with a protein shake.
