What will you miss the most?

I will miss the whole high school atmosphere, my teammates, and the coaches. The schools in my county were very friendly with each other.
What advice you would give to younger athletes?
I would tell them to work hard and don't forget you're a student-athlete, so take school serious. If you want something you have to go after it because nothing will be handed to you. Hard work always pays off and running will make you better even if you're doing a field event. You're not always going perform well at every meet, so if you have a bad meet just move on from it and look forward to the next meet and don't dwell on the past.
