| Best advice a coach has given you: After a bad race, you’re allowed to be upset for a few minutes, then you need to focus on moving forward. I have a tendency to focus on past mistakes, so it is always good to have a reminder of what’s ahead. |
| Post-college plans: After college, I plan to go into either data analysis or data science (no, they are not the same). It seems cool and makes decent money. |
| If you could have dinner with any three people, past or present, who would you pick? Srinivasa Ramanujan, Leonhard Euler, Roger Bannister |
| Something on your bucket list: Visit every continent (except for Antarctica) |
| Who would play you in a movie? Tom Holland |
| If you could pick one superpower, what would it be? Teleportation would save me so much time. |
| What is your biggest pet peeve? People that don’t use their blinkers. |
| Go-to hype song before a game: “Hall of Fame” by The Script |
| Favorite home-cooked meal: Tacos/Quesadillas |
| What is the weirdest superstition you’ve seen from another athlete? I have a teammate who wears “lucky socks” for every race, but the socks are so worn out that he has to wear a second pair of socks. |
| What is something you’re surprisingly good at outside of your sport? Singing the alphabet backwards or competitive Pokémon |
