Tell us how your summer training is going?
Summer training is going pretty well. A couple weeks in it, I started to have foot troubles so my training became limited and my miles dropped. I'm slowly increasing my miles again.
What are your goals for the upcoming season?
My main focus for the season is to run consistent splits and races. Times or place aren't a big deal. Another goal of mine is to run at the northeast qualifying race.
How long have you been running and how did you get started?
I've been running since freshman year. The summer going into freshman year, I was planning on doing football. One day my best friend, Liam, called me about summer running. So I went thinking it would be an easy way to get in shape for football. Well I was wrong. I realized how difficult it was and how it always challenges me. Now, I've fallen in love with the sport and its all thanks to Liam.
What is your favorite course to run in Maine, what is the toughest course?
My favorite course is also in my opinion the hardest, Twin Brook
What is your favorite cross country race so far in your high school career & favorite cross country memory?
My favorite race was freshman year Manchester. That was the first big meet that I have ever been to. Seeing all these different runners, schools and states made me insanely nervous. I remember hearing the gun go off and the crowds screaming as we burst off the line.
When you are not running what is your favorite thing to do?
When I'm not running, I usually hangout with friends and play football or bike.
Favorite quote?
Some 'words of wisdom' from my coach were, "don't blow your load to early." It helps me remember not to go out too hard and to spread my energy throughout my race.
What shoes do you train in?
Recently, I've started to train in Nike Pegasus and Nike Lunarglide.
What shoes do you race in?
I currently race in Nike xc rivals.
What professional athlete would you most like to meet?
An athlete that I'd like to meet would definitely like to meet would be Ben True.
