My sister and friends.

Has this always been your favorite sport?
Yes.

How has balancing academics and athletics been different for you from your freshman year to your senior year?
It has gotten harder to balance because my classes are more advanced now but I have always done a good job of getting my class work done right away so I don’t have to worry about it later.

What is your favorite part about this sport?
I love performing on the court with my team and seeing all our hard work at practice payoff in tough games.

What about it has caused you to stick with it for this long?
It’s something I look forward to every winter and I love playing with the team.

Is there a professional athlete you look up to? If so, why?
Not really.

What would you say is your biggest asset on the field/track?
My motivation. I am always trying to get to the next level.

What has been your most memorable experience in high school sports so far?
My junior year regional final game against Valders. Though we lost, it is definitely a game I will remember forever.

How does it feel as a senior, to look back throughout high school and see your growth (as a person and athlete)?
It feels unreal to be where I am now knowing how much I used to look up to the varsity athletes.

Do you have any pre-match rituals/routines/superstitions?
Before basketball games I always eat spaghetti.

Do you take any extra steps to prepare for a big match/game/meet, outside of regular practices?
I watch our last game and film on the upcoming team. I also like to view stats on the opponent to see certain players strengths and weaknesses.

Any memorable coaches or teammates you’d like to give a shout out to?
Not really, I’m pretty close with all my teammates.

Any hobbies outside of sports?
I enjoy hunting, fishing and shopping.

Favorite song?
It changes every day, I enjoy almost all music.

Sports drinks like Gatorade and Powerade or water?
Always water while I’m playing.
