What’s your favorite thing about track and field?

My favorite thing about track and field is all the excitement during the races. Our team draws in quite a crowd so the stands are full of people. As soon as our relays start happening, everyone gets so anxious! There is continuous screaming, people jumping up and down; you are just so in the moment. It is a great thing to be apart of.

 

How do you prepare yourself for a meet?

I prepare by packingĀ  lot of snacks and warm clothes. As the sun goes down, it gets very chilly. We have to make sure everyone is wearing layers. Right before the meet, I like to listen to music to get pumped up and just do a lot of stretches and warm-ups.

 

Who is your favorite athlete?

I actually do not have a favorite athlete. I like to play sports rather than watch them.

 

What is your favorite food?

My favorite food is carbonara, a type of pasta.
