What have you learned from your participation in athletics at Litchfield High School?

I have learned the importance of self-discipline and having positive surroundings. I set many goals for myself and it takes self-discipline to stay on track and make healthy decisions to achieve those goals. Surrounding myself with positive individuals has taught me the importance of encouraging teammates and motivating each other to be the best we can be!

The teammate I most admire is Lillia Chvatal for her hard work and self- discipline. I have loved being her teammate and competing against her amazing athleticism!

Any athletic plans after high school?

I plan to attend Bethel University to continue my athletic career on the varsity track and field team!
