Unique Info about me: I started racing in the pool when I was 5, and track when I was 10. So I lost the motivation during college, but after 6 years off I love racing more than ever. I guess sometimes you just need a little break. And I love Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies

Most Embaracing Moment: I passed out in a cross country race, face down in the mud.

Admirable Athlete: Obviously, Brett Favre
