Biography
I have been competing in track and field since 1995, and the Highland games for the last 15 months. My greatest achievements have been becoming a DII All-American in the discus at the age of 30, and setting national records in the USATF W35-39 throws pentathlon and ultraweight pentathlon.
I started throwing when I was 13 years old, and being a thrower has enriched my life in many, many ways. Since starting to compete in the Highland Games, I have won the 2017 Capital District Scottish Games, 2018 Twisted Kilt Wounded Warrior Project, and the 2018 BNHV Highland Games. My main goal now is to break into the top 10 women in the Highland Games in the USA.
