My brother, Kory, and my sister, Kelly, are also in CTC and are fun running partners. I currently attend West Junior High School and am in 8th grade. I play Columbia Soccer Club soccer with my dad as the coach. I am in Boy Scouts with Troop 708, and I also play Daniel Boone Little League baseball. I have been in CTC for two years, and hopefully will have one more fun, successful year.
