If you could do it all over again what would you change about your xc/track&field career in high school?

Injuries were definitely a constant, and gaining the confidence in myself to be the best athlete I can be.

Listen to your body. Injuries are not something to mess around with.

Coach Quint has always been a big supporter and has always been invested in every athlete he coaches. Constantly finding ways to better his athletes and puts a big emphasis on stretching after every workout.

I feel very disappointed and cheated. I wish I could've had one more run doing hurdles with my teammate Michael O'Driscoll and my rivals.
What are your college plans?
I'm going to be going through fire attack school for firefighting through an entity of Southern Maine Community College.
Who would you like to say thank you to?
I would like to thank my parents for always supporting me at my sporting events and to my coaches, Coach Quint and Coach Ouellette for making me the best hurdler and sprinter I could possibly be, your advice and hard work into making me the best athlete did not go unnoticed. I want to thank my teammates for making track such a memorable time in my life and making it so much fun.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Track has been the greatest time of my high school career. I always looked forward to every practice and every meet over the last 4 years.
