Prior to Lewis & Clark: Attended Santa Rosa High School … Won the Coaches' Award as a senior and the Most Improved Award as a sophomore … Selected to go to Southern California and compete at the Great Cow Run … Served as the team captain for cross country and track & field … Named the winner of the SRTA Student of the Year as a senior … Granted a Fleck Scholarship … Member of the National Honor Society.
Why Lewis & Clark?: I loved that Lewis & Clark had a beautiful campus and lots of nature. With running being a large part of my life, I knew it would be wonderful to have the opportunity to run for the track and field team and all over campus. I also loved the focus on mental health and that I could get my degree in 3 years once I transfer my junior college credit. Being a smaller school, I felt as though Lewis & Clark was the perfect fit for me after the last four years and would allow me to easily transition into living in a new state. It's really helpful that I know some people that are also attending L&C this year.
