SPORTS YOU PLAY: Cross country, indoor track, tennis

FAVORITE SPORT, AND WHY: I enjoy all of them. But I really enjoyed this fall’s cross country season, because we all came together as a team and created a supportive and fun environment. In cross country, after running for months, we see a lot of late season injuries, but we were still there for each other to continue to work together to make it to the (Division 2) All-State meet.

MOST MEMORABLE MEET FOR YOU, AND WHY: My most memorable meet was the Twilight Invitational (in Falmouth). It’s a nighttime meet lit by string lights with music blasting. The exciting atmosphere combined with the energy of the spectators and hundreds of runners pushed us to run faster and have more fun.

PLANS FOR AFTER HIGH SCHOOL: I’m applying to small New England schools.

DO YOU PLAN ON PLAYING SPORTS IN COLLEGE: Yes, I hope to continue to run in college.

DESIRED CAREER: Something in the science field.
