Tell us how your summer training is going?

Summer training is going great so far. I've been pretty consistent, mileage has been good over a variety terrain, and I have been able to stay off pavement.

What are your goals for the upcoming season?

My goals are simple: I want our team to do well, and I want to make sure I stay healthy and hopefully improve.

How long have you been running and how did you get started?

I have been running since spring of seventh grade. I started because my dad told me it was time to get off the bean bag chair. Once I started running I never looked back.

Will you be competing anywhere out of state this season?

I hope to qualify for New England's again this year.

What is your favorite course to run in Maine?

Belfast

What is the toughest course to run in Maine?

Either Cony or our home course when it's been raining.

What meet during the regular season do you put extra emphasize on to compete well at?

I do not really emphasize any one meet. I want to approach each meet with the appropriate intensity for its importance in the season. The state meet always means the most to me.

What is your favorite cross country race so far in your high school career & favorite cross country memory?

My favorite race was States last year at Twin Brook because I was so nervous about the course going in and I ended up making it to New England's. My favorite cross country memory is from last year when our course was basically washed away the day of homecoming. There was water running down one of the main straightaways and a bunch of people lost shoes, but we all ran with total abandon and had a really good time as a team. It was pure cross country.

When you are not running what is your favorite thing to do?

I like to hang out with my friends and do outdoorsy stuff.

Favorite quote?

"I want to run until I can't run"- Bill Rodgers

What shoes do you race/train in?

I train in Nike Kigers and Nike Wildhorses and race in Saucony Shays.

What was your favorite Olympic Moment in Rio?

Evan Jager getting silver in the steeple

What professional athlete would you most like to meet?

Bob "The Hound" Kelly

What is something that most people don't know about you?

I used to be a fencer before I was a runner.
