How has participating in high school athletics benefited you?
I have become a better person because of running. I have learned life lessons and personal characteristics such as dedication and perseverance that I will hold on to for the rest of my life.
What made you decide to play the sport for which you were named the Penn Station Athlete of the Season?
I originally started running for endurance for other sports I was playing at the time, but I fell in love with running and it became my favorite sport replacing all other sports.
