WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? The best class I have at Linfield was Quantum Physics, because it basically combined almost everything I've learned before in math and science, and it answered a bunch of questions I had about how the universe works.
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY FREE TIME…Playing the piano, learning about lots of different random things and camping in the redwoods.
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…The value of sportsmanship and teammates.
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield athletic career was being on the record-setting, conference-winning 4x200 free relay last year or going an unofficial 20.9 50 free split on a relay at the UNLV meet last year.
