She stated, “I was hoping to run something in the low 2:30s; however, when they announced my time over the intercom, they said 2:28. I was ecstatic! I couldn't believe that I ran that time. My ultimate goal for this season is to beat the school record: 2:21.  I was close last year, but this year I want to make it happen. That district race was just one step toward that goal that I so badly want to achieve.”
