I also came from a family of athletes who had competed in track and field. My grandfather was an Olympic Athlete and he was my idol and he motivated me to become the best athlete I can be. In middle school I started to wanted to expand my athleticism and get stronger, so I went out for the Cross Country team and I became the top runner for the team breaking several course records. In High School I ran both Cross Country and Track, and I became a member of both Distance Varsity teams. I had dropped my times and ran faster throughout my four years at Cherokee High School.
