My favorite event is the 1000 in indoor, but I’m probably better at the 1600.

During the indoor season this year when we (our 4×800 team) found out we broke 10 minutes. It was an amazing feeling being able to share my excitement with three other girls.

High Jump because I used to do it in middle school for fun.

Scotland or Ireland (or really anywhere in Europe).
