“I like running because it’s a challenge. I’m not like a super competitive person, but I like racing myself to get better times. I just joined cross-country last year, so I’ve definitely gotten better. It’s really fun to get better all the time. … I try my best, and especially joining cross-country, it’s helped me realize I can go farther, and I can do things better.”
“I’m not super talented, and especially right now, I have the most insane school schedule ever. I’m in the marching band, so yesterday’s schedule was wake up, march for an hour, go through school, run like eight miles. … I guess what it comes down to with me and running, especially in races, is I just push myself to my absolute limit. And I literally go to the point where how much farther can I go, how much can I push myself, and can I actually be amazing? … One thing I tell myself during races is run till I vomit, because that’s how I know I pushed myself to the absolute limit.”
“My favorite thing about running is when you get out there, and it’s just run your own pace, peaceful. No cars around you. No noises.”
“So I assume your favorite running terrain is the trails?”
“My favorite running is on the trails. … I like Hofma Park.”
“If you’re determined to do something, do it, and don’t hold back on it. … My teammates are fun, energetic and just a great group of guys to be around. Honestly, that’s the other half that makes it fun to run—it’s the people that you’re with.”
Fine fall weather at Greater Louisville Classic in Kentucky.
