My most difficult obstacle was my senior year when I got hurt from football. I had to sit out of preseason training in track because of my torn meniscus.
What will you miss the most?
The thing I will miss the most is getting invited to the different meets.

Who would you like to say thank you to?
I would like to say thank you to GOD first. He has brought me this far. If it wasn't for Him then I wouldn't know what else to do. I would also like to thank my coaches, my family and friends, MileSplit, FloTrack, and other social track medias out there for giving there time to put me out there in the spotlight.
