“Before every race in high school, our coach would tell us to run the first mile with our heads, the second mile with our hearts and the third mile with our balls. It wasn’t before just one race—it was before every race.”

“If someone were to claim cross-country is a soft sport, how would you respond?”
“It’s the most difficult sport. You’re literally killing yourself until the end. You’re pulling everything out of you, mentally and physically, from start to finish.”

“I was in Greece, and I went out for a run, it was a cloudy day. Maybe like five minutes in, the sky just opens up, and it starts pouring. I was doing a route around the Acropolis. Normal, normal running day. So it was pouring, and I decided to go for a little bit longer, just because it was fun to be running in the rain. And there’s this super, super busy street that you usually can’t get through because there’s so many people and it’s just crowded. You can’t even go through on cars—it’s all packed. But since it started pouring, everyone cleared out to the side. So it was me, running in the rain, on the street by myself, and everyone on either side just starts cheering. ‘Yeah! Way to go!’ I felt awesome. And I was going around the Acropolis—it was just the best moment.”

“What’s been the biggest difference so far between high school and college cross-country?”
“I’d say running with people every day—from freshmen to seniors. Having people to run with all the time has been great. It feels comfortable.”

“How fast would you run an 8K in a suit?”
“I’d run a decent 32-minute 8K. If you want me to look good while doing it, then maybe a solid 40 minutes.”
