8. Why did you start participating in Track and Field: Running has always been a part of my life.  I joined Sarnia ASW because I was frustrated by my lack of progress and success.

enjoyable way to get and stay in very good shape.  It is also gives me
challenges and goals to shoot for.  Lastly, it is a way to meet new people
(like the first time I met GOLD BOND).

because of all the people who keep me focused and dedicated.  My coaches,
my friends, and my parents.

11. What is the highlight of your athletic career: Running well at OFSAA
Cross Country.

12. Future Goals: Continue to run through high school, then hopefully run
for a Canadian University. I would simply like to continue running and improving.

13. Plans after you finish running: I don't want to finish running.  I believe that I will always run.
