“One thing I’m very passionate about is caring for the homeless. Homeless people in our community struggle a lot, especially during the winter time and a lot of people don’t even take the time to say hello.

“I was doing the 400, which is once around the track. I started running, and then all of a sudden, I landed on my right leg kind of funny. It started to hurt and I fell down. I was in pain, a lot. In that moment, I was just upset because I knew I wasn’t going to go to regionals.”
