What will you miss the most?
I'll miss the XC team, Coach Harmon and Coach Veilleux the most.

Listen to your body.
What influence has your coach had with respect to your performance and overall life goals?
Both Coach Harmon and Coach Veilleux showed me that I can achieve anything that I put my mind to. They are both respected members in the running world and gained that respect through their own hard work with younger athletes as well as their dedication to coaching high school running. Undoubtedly, the best coaches I'll ever have.
