Ski Jumping Highlights and Low-Lights (faux pas) => Highlight: Representing Alaska in the Alaskan-hosted Junior Nationals last year. Low-Light: Lacking snow the past two seasons. Low-Light: Crashing on a forty-meter ski jump with little snow, resulting with ice abrasions on my neck. Highlight: Lots of likes and comments on Instagram from the posted picture of the injury. Low-Light: Knee swelling up at the beginning of this season and being diagnosed with some type of arthritis, pushing back my first actual jumping practice of the season to late December.
Personal Best (distance and hill) => 44 meters/60 meter hill (definitely better than that hopefully)
Skiing Goals => Jumping farther and skiing faster in Nordic Combined despite setbacks such as huge changes in temperature and altitude.
Where are you and what are you doing 10 years from now? => In ten years from now, I will be an engineer creating revolutionary products that will change the lives of Americans and people from around the world. I will live somewhere in the Lower 48 (maybe Utah) where it is warmer but there is still skiing, and where there will be more opportunities for me.
