Tell something about you that most people don't know.
I get hangry really, really bad. I will throw a fit if I do not get food within 30 minutes of me saying I'm hungry.
What has been your favorite vacation?
It was my trip to Hawaii because I went with all my extended family and it was just an overall great experience. I was with my cousins every day for a week straight doing crazy activities like zip lining in the mountains and hiking up a volcano.

If you could see any music concert, who would you see?
Even though I have already been, I would love to see Tate McRae because she is literally my most favorite artist of all time. She is a triple-threat singer, dancer and actress. Her songs are so relatable and I would love to go see her a second time and hopefully be by the stage.
If a caveman could live in modern times, what do you believe would impress him the most?
He'd be most impressed by huge commercial boats because they are so big and carry so much weight yet they are still able to float. That's just crazy.
If you were cast in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," which dwarf would you be?
I would be Bashful because he is a gentle, caring person to the other dwarfs like me with my friends. He's also shy at first, but when you get to know him you see his true colors and I feel like that's how I am, too.
What do you plan to do after you graduate?
I hope to have a track scholarship for college and study to become a nutritionist or veterinarian. After graduating college I want to open my own business and go pro in track.

What's your favorite sports memory in high school?
It would have to be freshman year at state because we stayed in a hotel and not many people qualified for state. We were running around the hotel and meeting other people from other teams and it was just an overall super fun time.
Do you have any rituals before a race?
I don't have any rituals really on race day, but the night before a meet I always have to eat spaghetti. Got to carbo load.

If you could have dinner with any four people in the history of the world, who would they be?
I would pick Jesus, Martin Luther King, Jr., Druski and Allyson Felix.
Druski?
I chose Druski because he is a really funny guy and he promotes himself very well. So if I invited him for dinner, I would ask him about how he got to where he is today and any pointers on how I could get to his level, too.
You're in charge of the menu. What are you serving?
I would serve a whole Chipotle bar because Chipotle is my favorite fast food place ever. There will probably be an even split between people who will be their first time ever trying it and people who already love it.
