Get to Know Q & A

- How did you get your start in track and field and/or cross country?

I started track and field when I was in 5th grade because I was running faster than all my brothers so my parents signed me up.

- Your parents' athletic background. Did they play any sports-where(HS, College, Pro), what position, when, any awards?  Please include names.

My dad played football and ran track in high school and my mom swam at Florida state.

I have 2 brothers and one of them plays baseball in college.

In my free time I like to keep training for track because that is my free time.

- At school, do you do any extracurricular activities? i.e. student government, clubs or other sports.

I don’t do any extracurricular activities outside of track.

- Pre- and post- race rituals. Any superstitions?

Before my meets, I like to eat a little breakfast and listen to music to help calm my nerves, after a meet I like to have a bigger meal like Waffle House usually.

- Movie watcher and/or book reader? What is/are your favorite book and/or movie and why?

I am much more a movie watcher than a book reader. I would say my favorite movie is the new Bad Boys movie that just came out.

- How do you deal with setbacks and triumphs?

Setbacks are very difficult to deal with but I know that if I just consistently treat myself everyday such as an injury, I know I’ll come back even better.

We have one dog and her name is Paris.

- Where do you see yourself in five years?

I see myself as a successful track and field athlete dominating the long jump.

- What words would you have for your sixth grade self?

I would say my 6th grade self was very loud, and impulsive, but also super happy all the time.

- Who is your favorite track and field athlete and why? How about other sports-who is your favorite athlete and why?

My favorite track athlete is Juan Miguel Echiverria because he is one of the best long jumpers ever and I like his style when it comes to jumping.

- Favorite hype song, if any, before your competition

My hype song before I compete is Faneto by Chief Keef or any song by Nardo Wick

- Many athletes are quoted as saying " trust the process". What does that mean to you?

I believe this means that if you are consistent in your training, then you are bound to become a better athlete.

- How do you balance social media with your performance? Does social media impact you positively or negatively?

I balance these because after a performance, I like to post my marks or videos on social media. I believe when it comes to athletics, social media impacts me positively such as exposure.

- Favorite and not favorite high school subject and why?

My favorite subject is History because I love to learn about what has happened before I was here and my least favorite subject is math because it’s a lot of numbers and lots of equations that are really hard for me.

- Favorite musical artist and why? What is your favorite song by that artist?

My favorite artist is Michael Jackson because I think overall he has the best songs to listen to. My favorite song by him is Man in the Mirror.

- Favorite pre- and post- meal?

My favorite pre meal before a meet is just a banana and my favorite post meal is some eggs and bacon.

- Dire question warning :) If you were unable to continue to compete in track and field, what would you do?

If I couldn’t compete in track and field anymore I would want to coach track and field.

- What do you see your legacy being-in and outside the track world?

I see my legacy being remembered as a very passionate person and a very nice person to people. I hope I can leave the legacy of holding the world record in the long jump.

- What is your vice? What do you binge on that you can't seem to control?

I would say my weakness is sometimes I eat too much bad foods like fast food stuff and not eat healthy.

- If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be and why?

If I could meet anyone it would have to be Jesus because he’s our lord and savior.
