in your high school newspaper from 2017. It mentions that you were at first a field hockey player and didn’t start running track until middle school. Can you talk about the beginnings of your track career? When I started track in the spring of seventh grade, I was a high jumper and I ran the 4x100. I really liked high jump a lot so going into freshman year of high school, I was a high jumper. Then, at the end of my season, a girl on our 4x200 got hurt, so they asked me well, kind of told me to run the 4x200 just this one weekend and I did pretty well. Then they asked me to run the 4x400 and I did decent in that. Then I kept running relays and I kept getting better. I think the first time I ran the open 400 was either at the end of my freshman year or the beginning of my sophomore year. I liked it because the more I ran it, the easier it got, so I just kept doing it.
