"Just wanting to spend a day with my mom, led me to my passion"

I started playing football when I was in the 3rd grade and wasn't good at it but is was the only sport I could do. My parents were always runners. In 6th grade I wanted to try to run a 5k with my mom to just see what I could do ended up placing in my age group... Just wanting to spend a day with my mom helped me find my passion. So in 7th grade I went out for cross country fell in love and have been running ever since. I'm finishing up my sophomore year of highschool and have 2 state titles in cross country and hoping for a scholarship. I owe this all to my mom.
