Atypical XC/T&F athletic journey lead me to become a mid-distanced centered multi-event athlete who is just beginning to understand the challenges of the pentathlon.

My athletic journey:

• Began my freshman year as a XC runner (solid team contributor for a best in county team). 19-20 minute 5Ks on hilly Northeast courses.
• Interest in Pole Vault (no background in typical endeavors such as gymnastics or diving, but always had excellent upper body strength vs. my peers) led to full emersion into the event
• Cleared 9'6" as a freshman and worked with excellent local coaches
• Moved down to mid-distance in track, leading to 2:24 open 800m and multiple 2:20-2:21 relay splits
• Sophomore year, continued with XC and PV
• High scorer in XC for league and county leading team
• Reached 10' in PV in December, followed by a labrum tear in early 2023, which would require surgery to return to the PV
• During PT rehab, pivoted to other events to help the team
• Foot-strike anemia in March 2023, sidelined from running for 6 weeks. Fully-recovered in Mid-April.
• Won Westchester County Championships at [2832 first two pentathlon events (2,425 and 2,800)
• Won Section 1 Class A Championships at 2957: (16.8 100H, 4.98 LJ, 1.52 HJ, 7.81SP, 2:23 800)
