WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU HAVE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? The best class I've taken at Linfield was Anatomy, because it was challenging and taught me a lot about time management. It was also fascinating to learn every muscle in the body and find ways to apply that knowledge to my training.
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY TIME…Exploring the outdoors around the McMinnville area.
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…Discipline.
