Message to parents
Thank you for being so supportive of everything I’ve done, both with track and life in general. You guys mean the world to me and I love you so much!! I hope I’ve made you proud. And also, it looks like those hours of video games weren’t too detrimental huh ;).
Message to teammates
It was fun while it lasted boys. Thank you for pushing me to get stronger every day while also showing me how to have fun doing what we love to do. Y’all better go crazy for me next year, if anyone can do it it’s you guys. I’ll miss all of you guys but I know I’ll see you again at some point. And please oh please actually do the warmup lol.
Message to coaches
You guys took me in junior year and made me feel like a vet at something that I had virtually no experience in. Thank you for sticking with me and dedicating so much time to the track team. I’m grateful that I got to lead the team and I hope I can keep impressing you guys in the future!!
Favorite moment of this sport at Chesterton High School
My favorite moment was winning the 100m at Sectionals with all my friends watching and then getting interviewed after. One of the best moments ever!!
