Q. How do you think the team will do at the Big 12 championships?
A. Our goal is to get into the top half. It’s going to be really challenging because everybody in the Big 12 got better. It’s going to be hard, but I think if we all have a really good race at the same time we should get there.
Q. Who’s your favorite professional athlete?
A. Michael Johnson. He’s actually the reason why I started running. I actually thought I was a sprinter because I ran the mile in sixth grade for gym class and I was always the first one done. So I wanted to be like him and his golden shoes and go to the Olympics and run the 100. But, obviously, I’m a distance runner.
Q. What’s your favorite thing to eat after a race?
A. Bad food. I guess, just comfort food. I’m always craving something fruity and cold, so a smoothie or something like that.
Q. How do you feel about having a combined men’s and women’s cross country team?
A. I love it. I’ve heard just this year that Texas has completely separate programs. I would never be able to imagine having that because here it’s just like in high school. I just like having the girls and the guys. It’s a totally different dynamic.
Q. Do you know what you’re going to be for Halloween?
A. Yeah. I’m going to be the girl from flash dance with the crazy hair and everything.
Q. What’s your favorite scary movie?
A. Oh my gosh, I hate scary movies. The best one would be “Signs” because of the whole message at the end. So it means more and it’s not as scary.
Q. What’s your favorite type of candy?
A. Candy corn. I’ve just been eating them every day. Those candy corn pumpkins, I love those.
Q. What scares you more, vampires or werewolves?
A. Werewolves, you don’t know how to kill them. With vampires you have a stake.
Q. What are your plans for this Halloween?
A. We’re trying to have a party with the team, all of the guys and girls, but we can’t really convince the guys to have a party. I think that because all of the guys have houses and the girls just have apartments we were like, ‘Okay, you guys can host it.’
