Season Goals: To improve on my overall performance in the Decathlon and qualify in the conference in pole vault so I have the opportunity to score more points for the team in the conference championship.

Favorite Decathlon Event:  My favorite event in the Decathlon would be the javelin, but I enjoy doing the 1500m as well because relatively I do the best in that event.
