INSPIRATIONAL PERSON OR QUOTE & WHY | "Always give thanks to God the father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. -Ephesians 5:20" This is a reminder to me to always thank God in everything I do, including my sport. I am beyond blessed to have the opportunity to run for CCU. Thanks be to God for my talent and the awesome team He has given me."
OUTSIDE OF SPORTS | "I love fixing/restoring and riding dirt bikes, whether that be on a track, trails, or sand dunes near my hometown. I love doing anything outside, especially with other people. Snowmobiling, snowboarding, and mountain biking are some of the other few things I love doing outside."
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE CCU | "I feel that God called me here to CCU. The team culture is so special and strong. The very first day walking into the practice room I nearly felt at home, the guys are all super friendly and some of my best friends! The school itself is also a huge reason, I feel God has His hand over this place and it is a place I can mature in my faith in many different ways."
FAMILY TIES | "I have 3 older sisters who all ran/run in college, and 2 younger brothers. The oldest sister and youngest sister both were/are top runners for Cedarville University, and my middle sister is a top runner for Liberty University. My dad was a runner in college and my mom was once she met my dad. Our whole family is big on running. Nearly every holiday all the cousins (24 of us) get together and play tag or some sort of game at our grandparents. I love it."
POST COLLEGE DREAMS | "I hope to either be in the business field or going to trade school and get my aircraft technician certificate. Being a small engines shop owner or worker would be cool too."
