I completed my freshman season. I posted pretty good marks in the 200m and 400m (no more 800s!). I finished 7th in the 400m finals (49.81) at the OVC Championships and I anchored the 4x400m relay team to a 4th place finish. I've also been given a scholarship to run next season. I expect to improve on times and place higher in the OVC Championships and make it to NCAA regionals next spring.
