Tell us how your summer training is going?
It's going really well so far! I have been running around 40 miles a week and have done some swimming, biking, and paddle boarding for cross training as well.
What are your goals for the upcoming season?
My main goal is to make it to states as a team this year. I would also like to run a sub 19:30.
How long have you been running and how did you get started?
This will be my sixth year running competitively. I tried cross country for the first time in fifth grade and loved it ever since.
What's a typical training week like?
I usually run twice a day and cross train on some days depending on the week. Sundays are usually my long run days as meets are usually on Fridays.
What is your favorite workout?
I actually like mile repeats because it makes each mile feels shorter than the first in the race.
What is your favorite course to run in Maine?
Belfast without a doubt is one of my favorite courses. It was so exciting to be there for Festival of Champions and States last year.
What is the toughest course to run in Maine?
Twin Brook has to be the hardest for me. It's one of those courses you hate and love at the same time.
Out of all your running accomplishments so far, which stands out the most?
I felt my best race was States last year at Belfast where I got my pr. I felt great that race and was excited to move on to New Englands after that.
What do you love most about running?
I have a love for the competition and I love being part of a team of people who enjoy running as much as I do. I've made many new friends not only from my school, but from other schools as well.
When you are not running what is your favorite thing to do?
I like to bike and paddle board a lot in the summer. I also like to listen to music or just hang out with friends.
Do you have any pre-race rituals or routines?
Not really. Most of the time I try not to get too nervous and focus on the race ahead.
Favorite quote?
"I know every mile will be worth my while"
What was the last movie you saw and what did you think of it?
I saw Spiderman homecoming and I really liked it.
What shoes do you race/train in?
I train in Saucony Ride 9 and Ride 10. I race in Saucony Havok spikes.
What professional athlete would you most like to meet?
I think it would be really cool to meet Molly Huddle.
What is something that most people don't know about you?
Pitch Perfect is my favorite movie.
Lastly, if you were stranded on an island with three things what would they be?
Chocolate milk, my phone, and my dog.
