MAJOR: Management
DESCRIBE YOUR HEAD COACH: My head coach is hungry for us to consistently improve and become the best program that we can become
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL AND WHY: My brother is my role model because he goes into any situation fear free and confident. He has taught me a lot of hard lessons in life while still being a great human being.
GREATEST ATHLETE ON EARTH TODAY IS: Floyd Mayweather
FAVORITE ARMY WEST POINT TEAM OTHER THAN YOUR OWN: Football
FAVORITE VENUE TO PLAY IN: Anywhere that is warm... Irvine, California was a really nice meet.
OPPONENT MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING: Navy
WHAT TEAM NOT ON YOUR SCHEDULE WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY AND WHY: Air Force, because one of my good friends from high school throws shot-put there and I would like the opportunity to earn a silver star against her.
HOW ARE YOU SPENDING YOUR SUMMER: I will be attending Air Assault school, traveling to Germany, going on a cruise, and spending time at home with my family this summer.
ON MY TEAM, I AM THE BEST... at being referred to as a granny. I tend to always have aches, pains, and minor injuries.
FAVORITE MEAL: My favorite meal is garlic chicken with mashed potatoes and bread at home.
IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: I really want to go to Italy!
FAVORITE WARMUP SONG: Remember the name
BIGGEST NIGHTMARE: Not graduating from West Point
FAVORITE PART OF WEST POINT: All of the great people that you meet. It's easy to get caught up in a busy schedule here but when you focus on the people around you and the company that you have, life becomes less stressful and more fun.
DESCRIBE ARMY WEST POINT TRACK & FIELD/CROSS COUNTRY: Crazy. Our team is made up of so many different personalities that when everyone is together there is never a dull moment.
FAVORITE TV SHOW GROWING UP: Sister sister
MOST MEMORABLE ATHLETIC MOMENT: Beating Navy indoors this past season.
HOW ARE YOU IMPROVING YOUR GAME IN THE OFFSEASON: I will be working out over the summer to become stronger. I need to be more explosive in order to become faster in the shorter sprints.

WHO IS THE STRONGEST PLAYER ON YOUR TEAM: Briyah Brown
WHO IS THE MOST ENTERTAINING PLAYER ON YOUR TEAM: Courtney McKenzie
WHICH TEAMMATE IS MOST LIKLEY TO BECOME A GENERAL: Ashley Zeitvogel
ADVICE FOR INCOMING PLEBE TEAMMATES: If you get injured (everyone does at some point) take care of yourself so that you can become healthy again. Running while injured is not fun and prevents you from performing to the best of your abilities and meeting your goals.
