What sport means to me and my future goals:

In the future I want to win a medal at Nationals for the 800m. I want to represent Australia in the Olympics one day and represent Australia in international competitions. I started off as a sprinter and a rugby player but about a year ago switched over to 800m and 1500m and left rugby to focus on running. I am very proud of my achievements so far, really love my sport, and I only hope that there is more to come.
