About the Marauder 

  • Why Millersville: I chose Millersville because the school and cross country team presented a very welcoming and fun environment, and the campus was also beautiful.
  • Off-the-track hobbies: Hiking random trails in the mountains and trying new types of food and recipes
  • Interesting summer job: I worked at Sonic for a year as a skating carhop.
  • Hidden talent: I used to be a gymnast and was oddly flexible before I started.
  • Favorite professional athlete: Brenda Martinez and Craig Engels
  • Favorite series to binge watch: Stranger Things
  • Pre-meet ritual: I always have a smiley face drawn onto the bottom or side of my racing shoes, so I tap it twice to remind myself to have fun while I run.
