Bio

Career Stats: TFRRS Profile


High School: Received the James U Boughton Award for leadership and dedication in track and field. Qualified individually for state in the 800m in 2014. Was JV team captain in fall 2012 for the cross country team. Was member of Dubuque Senior's National Honor Society. Ran a personal best of 17:01 for 5,000m and 1:59.87 in the 800m.


Major at UW-Platteville: Computer Science

What is your favorite thing about UW-Platteville? Definitely the guys on the cross country team. We're a little crazy, but have a lot of fun here on campus.

Why did you choose UW-Platteville? It eventually came down to that I knew that UW-Platteville had a good Computer Science program, the cost was about right, and that my head coach in high school knew Coach Antczak from his past coaching experience.
