I am working towards the 2024 Olympic Trials in the 35k race walk. I have dreamed of competing for Team USA since a very young age. I just wasn’t sure in which sport. Collegiate track & field introduced me to race walking. Within the first couple months of walking, I qualified and finished top ten at nationals. I had found my path.
