Other (Interesting Stories ie: Family in sport, how you got involved, etc.) / Autre (histoires intéressantes, c.à-d. famille dans le sport, comment avez-vous commence, etc.): My dad is a farmer so I grew up on a chicken farm where I learned diligence by his example. A strong work ethic and competitiveness is evident on both sides of the family however. My mom gave me exposure to a huge variety of sports at a young age and I pursued the ones that I enjoyed the most- running being one of them. Aside from one cousin (Emma Roung), no one in my family runs.
