My greatest sports moment: My greatest sports moment occurred when I won the HHSAA State Championships in Discus during my senior year. It was the best moment because my mom was there and my dad called me right after to tell me how proud he was. My coaches were all there and they had all supported me so much, so this was my way of giving back to them and to everyone who had sacrificed to get me to that point.

What I like most about Carleton: The faculty and staff are friendly and supportive in ways I wouldn't have imagined.
