Favorite Plattsburgh Sports Moment
“My last national championship meet where I jumped my best mark and ended up placing second. I also had one home meet in outdoor track that my parents got to attend. It was one of those days that I was in four different events and felt like I literally ‘ran’ from event to event. It was a good day for the team, and I placed well in a couple of events -- my dad still talks about it to this day.”
