WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield because of the small school atmosphere and the tight knit community. 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? It means having an opportunity to represent your school on and off the track. 

WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU HAVE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? African Cinema during the Spring 2020 semester, I knew nothing about the topic going in. I had my eyes opened to a whole new world and got to watch some good movies. 

WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO… Be at the beach. 

THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD… Keep on working because results will come.
