What do you like most about cross country and baseball?

Cross country, I like the guys on the team. It’s really fun to do a hard workout with all of them because it makes it a lot easier, and gives you a lot more motivation. Baseball, I really like the data part of baseball and how the numbers work because you can look at how your performance is based on numbers a lot, and I really like to think about it that way.

For our conference meet, we all ran very well, and I had one of my best races ever, but James Bloss still beat me, and it was a very fun race.

Who is your favorite athlete in cross country and why?

Probably my dad, because he was a very good cross country runner when he was in high school. He and my brother ran cross country in high school, so I get a lot of inspiration from them, and motivation because I want to be as good as them – and better.

My favorite athlete is probably Adam Wainwright. He’s a pitcher for the Cardinals. Now he’s 40, but he’s still really good because he’s just really smart, and knows how to pitch.
