season. She also ran the anchor leg of Midlothian�??s meet-record

| Best
trait: |
�??I think it�??s just my dedication and my mental toughness.�?� |
On
difficulty
playing two
sports at once: |
�??During softball season I�??m focused on softball. After softball
practice I�??ll go on my run. The track coach [Stan Morgan],
he gave me some workouts and I do those after practice. I�??ve
been training. I kept in shape.�?� |
On the
Penn
Relays: |
�??It was actually scary. I�??ve never been scared at a track meet
before. It was bigger than nationals.�?� |
| Future: |
�??Right now my plan for college is to run all three seasons
because the easiest way for me to get into college would be by
running. Softball is my love and I will always love it, but it
will be easier for me to get into college through running.�?� |
One
thing most
wouldn't know: |
�??I used to live in New York. I was born in New York, I lived
there for seven years. Then I moved to Florida and lived there
for four years. We moved back to New York for a couple of years,
then I moved here. I�??ve been all over the place.�?� |
One word
that
describes her
personality: |
�??Wacky.�?� |
| Favorite
Event: |
�??The 800 or the 1,000. If I had to choose anything, I�??d probably
go with the four by eight relay.�?� |
