“What I like about track is that in all the meets I always get to talk to some of my old friends and it’s like a social event, but I also love running at the meets. I love running the mile, that’s my favorite race. I’ve been running ever since I was in 4th or 5th grade, where I started at a running club at our school. And I just fell in love with it. I was gonna do soccer, but then I decided that I like running more. And I was better at it. But for track and the mile, that’s my favorite race, and just like finishing it and when I get PRs I feel absolutely terrible at the end but it’s so rewarding and I feel like I’ve accomplished something great.”
