A Shot in the Dark

It isn't typical for a student-athlete to have their first cross country meet be the Conference Championship.

Or doing that just three months after ankle surgery.

But then, my journey to becoming a Division I athlete wasn't a typical one, either. I mean, I didn't even do cross country or track in high school. I just randomly decided I was going to try a 5K on my own one day—little did I know where this would take me.
