Events: Hurdles and Sprints

"I competed primarily in the high hurdles and short sprints in college, but also in the long jump and relays.  One of my favorite track memories was at a meet during my senior year in college against one of our rival schools.  So that I could help my team score as many points as possible, I competed in the 110m high hurdles, 100m, 200m, long jump, pole vault, shot put, and 4 x 100m relay.  I was very sore, but we won.  I love track and field because you train yourself to do things physically and mentally that just don’t seem possible, while also forming deep and lasting relationships with your coaches and teammates.  I love to coach youth track because I get to share my enthusiasm and knowledge for the sport with our athletes as they grow stronger physically, intellectually, and emotionally."
