I am entering my fourth year as a Rutgers decathlete. I started track as a pole vaulter my junior in high school and gained other events throughout highschool till i moved to the decathlon at the start of college. Under the coaching of Rutgers assistant coach Kevin Kelly, i have gone from barely qualifying for the Big East Championships to a 2007 and 2008 All East athlete, third place finisher in the 2008 Indoor Big East Heptathlon, and a fourth place finisher of the Big East Outdoor Decathlon.
