Reason for attending BYU: BYU has the perfect balance between athletics, academics, spiritual and social life.
Best part of being on the BYU track and field team: It’s like having a second family.
Most memorable moment since arriving at BYU: Exploring the mountain terrain.
Favorite movie: Singin’ in the Rain
Best place to eat in Provo: Great Harvest Bread Co. (especially for a mid-run snack!)
If you could be doing anything in 10 years it would be: Loving life
Favorite BYU sport other than track and field: Rugby. It’s fast, thrilling, and confusing enough to keep you interested the whole game.

If you could add one thing to the BYU campus what would it be: The occasional tree house (sometimes all the good study/lunch spots are taken).
Gatorade, PowerAde or Vitamin Water: Killer Blue PowerAde prepared by Judd or Sam
Most embarrassing moment: I asked a cute boy to go sledding with me by yelling only one word of the question to him each time I ran around the indoor track…but hey, he said yes.
