I have stayed on the SIUE Track & Field team even though I have consistently been unable to compete at my highest level because of injuries. I spend time with the team doing community service and team bonding. This is my senior year and was named a captain for the distance team. This adds a bit more pressure on me to make sure that I am setting a good example for the newcomers. In the past few years, I have learned a lot about myself and how to act.
