Wilson
Class of 2008
The satisfaction that after a hard race or workout, looking back and saying, "wow, I did it!"
Getting second at the 2006 Outdoor Sectionals in the 1600m last year, with my teammate, Tom Reubens, winning it. A team highlight was winning the 2006 XC Sectionals this year.
The 1600m
I can't pick one favorite, but my top ones are Audioslave, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots and The Beatles.
Who is your role model and why?
My role model would have to be either my dad, who comes to all my meets, helps me figure out the best way to train in the off season, buys me lots of shoes, and teaches me pretty mcuh everything about running...or, my cross country coach, Brett Sippel. He emphasize humility and teaches us how to be good people in general.
Not sure if this is the same or not, but my hero is Haile Gebresalassie. After watching Endurance, it makes him seem human and he seems like a good person as well as an amazing athlete.
My favorite subject would have to be gym because I like to be active. My favorite subject, academically, would be math. It just comes easily for me.
Not sure what kind of career I want yet, but I want a job where I have fun in, hopefully have a family and still will be running. I also want to move out West, somewhere that stays warm year round with some good scenery.
