How did you get into track and field, and why were throws the event you got into?
-I never thought about being a part of the track team, but when I was in middle school I needed something to do after volleyball and basketball season. I was talking to the track coach who at the time was my teacher and he told me I needed to join the track team. I told him he was crazy because there was no way I was running anywhere. He then explained to me what a shotput was and the next week I went out and ended up throwing further than everyone else....when you're 6ft tall in middle school, throwing was about the only track event I was good at haha
What was the biggest accomplishment you had from throwing in High School?
- The biggest accomplishment for me in high school was actually throwing 45ft. in the shotput. I loved being apart of the team that won a state championship, but for some reason, I just remember working so hard to throw that 45 and when I did I had this overwhelm...
