How I got here.
Missouri Long Jump State Record
Jumped 6.18 meters at the Missouri State Meet, setting a new outdoor record. Closed out high school as a 3-time state champion (2× LJ, 1× 100m).
U20 World Trials · 11th
First trip to the U20 World Trials. Got a feel for the international stage and came home knowing I belonged there.
U20 World Trials · 4th
Came back the next year and finished fourth overall. One of the proudest meets of my career so far.
11× All-American
Closed out high school with eleven All-American honors across long jump and sprints. Westside Stars forever.
UCF commit
Chose UCF. New conference (Big 12), warm weather, and a coaching staff that gets long jump. Felt like home from day one.
NMDP partnership
Signed with the National Marrow Donor Program (Be The Match) to use my platform to help register more donors. Cause first, brand second.
Top 10 UCF Indoor
Cracked UCF's Top 10 All-Time Indoor list with 6.08 meters, 5th overall in school history. Indoor season just getting started.
Three rules I don't break.
Education first. Always.
I'm an Education major. Track is the dream. Teaching is the long game. The classroom matters as much as the runway.
Partners I actually believe in
I sign with partners that fit who I am. NMDP for the mission. Bojangles for the brand I grew up with. Both mean something to me.
Blue Springs is part of every step
The kids back home are watching. Everything I do at UCF and every brand I sign with, they see it. That keeps the standard high.
The people behind the work.
UCF Sprints/Jumps Staff
The staff that brought me to UCF and is building my technique day in, day out.
Family
Drives everywhere. Reads every contract. Reminds me where I came from. None of this happens without them.
