Wow thank you! it's such a great honor to be recognized by the community and this blog that I have spent so many hours hitting the refresh button on, just waiting for the next article to be posted. Anyway, I have so many people to thank for the support on this incredible ride the last couple years. Of course I have to start with my parents whose contributions I can't even begin to list because they wouldn't fit on this page and my grandma who came to all my meets and being the person I was most compelled to not disappoint. I would like to thank all my coaches. A big loud high five to my coach Tim Wu, whose high fives are truly unrivaled. Thank you Mr. Z and Coach brown and the rest of the middle school Wolfpack, Paul and coach wright for all the wisdom and advice they have passed down to me as well as everyone who I have learned from and talked to on so many runs, they know who they are. Thank you To Luca Pugliano for being a great training partner and a greater friend, Todd Gunz for that long run and generally being insane and thank you to the rest of the Wpial for four years of the highest competition, great times, and motivation to "do it for the Wpial" at states. Thanks again to all the writers for creating this blog predicting almost every finish of mine this year and for being the life of this community. I'll be a lifelong fan even if I am no longer in Pennsylvania or in high school or a distance runner.
