Why have you chosen to live and train in Eugene?  Its a good running community and I wanted to be part of a very talented group.

Which teammate inspires you and why?  Julia Lucas; regardless of what happen she always seems to have a smile on her face.

Why have you chosen to run for Coach Rowland?  Mark was once a runner and results have proven over time that he is a great coach.

How would you win The Hunger Games?  I would hide out until one competitor is left then I would trick him or her to self destruct - that way I don’t have to kill anybody and I still win!
