Who's been the biggest influence on my sports career and why?: I think if there was one person in the sporting world who inspires me more than anyone else, it's the American distance runner Steve Prefontaine. A year ago, I didn't even know who Pre was. I'm not sure exactly how I found out about him. But I know that in the time since I moved to California and decided to fully commit myself to running, Pre has been my biggest inspiration as a competitor. His famous quote, "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" lights a fire in me every time I hear it. Using Pre as an example has changed the kind of runner and racer that I am.
About Me: I'm a level-headed, open-minded person. I get along with all kinds of people and have a good sense of when it is a good time to joke around and when it is time to get down to business. Sitting down and watching a movie or playing video games is therapeutic to me. A little relaxing time is the secret ingredient to my successes. I love history class and history in general, AP US History in Junior year was one of my all time favorite classes.
