Soph., Track and Field, Newburgh, Ind.

What He’s Done: Tied program records in the 60 meter dash (7.48) and 60 meter high hurdles (9.21) to lead the Garnet at Haverford’s Keogh Invitational.

Favorite Career Moment: Running PRs every meet this season in the hurdles wasn’t something that I expected but was definitely something that I worked towards so that’s pretty significant. Additionally, there isn’t anything much better than finishing the season at the top of Swarthmore’s top ten lists for the 60 dash and 60 hurdles.

Conference Meet Goals: I’d be satisfied with cutting more time in the dash and hurdles.  Scoring in the hurdles and on the 4 x 200 relay are the highest priorities.

Least Favorite Event: Anything over 300 meters is pretty miserable. I only enjoy running the 400 if it’s with hurdles.

Favorite Plant on Campus: Anything of the Phyllostachys genus, specifically the grove near the foot of campus.
