About Me

Graduate of Cotter high school (section 1A) , class of 2013, student at the University of Kansas, class of 2017. I ran track and cross country all 6 years of high school. Until my senior year of track, I was the guy who was there just to have fun. That all changed when Matt Schrupp, Jacob Johnson, and Emilio Taivaheo asked me to train for the 4x800 with them. Thanks to hard work and dedication I dropped 17 seconds in the 800 over the course of an off season. A 2:16 to a 1:59. My senior season was so exciting, I will never forget all the fun and laughter.

Make friends with people from other teams. Runners are the friendliest people out there.

The future has many possibilities, never give up.
