Questions

Your highlight career moment?
Being selected for my first commonwealth games was super special for me. I was a late addition to the team so it was a huge surprise when I got a call saying I was on the team. What made it even cooler was that I was able to call each of my family members to tell them I had been selected on the team. Such an awesome feeling!

What's your go to brunch order?
I LOVE DUMPLINGS or anything Asian. I’m also a sucker for a chicken katsu bowl (yeah you know). But for brunch I’m going to have to go for a breakfast burrito. Eggs, bacon, spinach, Hollandaise sauce, hash browns. Get that IN ME!

Any advice for younger athletes?
Don’t think about the results so much when you’re a kid. Just go out there and race and try beat the guy next to you. Oh and have fun while doing it, nothing better than beating someone older than you!
