It wasn't me that decided on it. The team voted her in as a captain. But to be honest, they couldn't have made a better selection. She is a phenomenal athlete and a very good student.

I always see her in study hall working with flash cards and studying very hard. She comes from a great family who really supports her in school and track, and it definitely shows in her performance.

She works extremely hard in practice and she is always very focused. She will be one of our better distance runners this season.

Being a captain on this team is a big honor,

Every boat needs a rudder.

I've always voted against raises. Raises for elected officials should be decided by voters.
