Where are you from?
Buckeye [suburb of Phoenix].
When did you move here?
Freshman year.

I do track and field, soccer and I wanted to do wrestling but I didn’t get around to it.
Which is your favorite? Why?
Soccer. I love the physical and constantly moving game.
What’s the worst part?
I’d say when your teammates started getting down on you but that doesn’t happen too much.
Do you have a favorite professional sports team or athlete?
I love [Lionel] Messi.
What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re not playing sports?
I like to play video games. Rest, restore my energy, drink up, try to work out, gain that muscle back I lose during the season.
Favorite television show?
“The Flash.”
Favorite food?
Chicken alfredo.
What do you aspire to be when you’re older?
Firefighter.
What types of lessons has playing sports taught you?
No matter how down things seem, just fight to bring it back up.
Is there a memorable game or race in your career?
In Phoenix, I was in a 3-on-3 tournament and we ended up taking it all, but there were some pretty good players. We barely won. We were down two goals and came back and won.
