What do you enjoy most about being on the cross-country team?
The most enjoyable thing—especially being on such a small team—is how much of a family we are. We’re all so connected and united, and it’s a special bond that you can’t find anywhere else.
How do you recover after a hard race or workout?
After a tough workout or race, I like to do a long shakeout run to help flush out the lactic acid from my muscles. Mentally, I review every moment of the race and think about what I could have done better.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received from a coach?
The best piece of advice I’ve received from a coach is the quote, “The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.” When I first heard it, I didn’t realize how deep it really was. Now, I rarely get through a tough workout without reciting it to myself.
