Tell us a fun fact about yourself. A fun fact about myself is that I started to run track and cross country only because my high school gym teacher told me that I should try joining the track team. I would not have even thought about this if she never said anything.
Do you have anyone that you would like to thank? I would like to thank my parents, my teachers, my coaches from high school, and my current Brookdale coaches, Mike Tursi and Dennis Flynn. These people supported me in hard situations, and motivated me to push beyond my limits.
