Sport

​when you have it, you will know it

I started playing soccer with the Winchester Soccer Club in fourth grade. I switched to a travel team in fifth grade. Soccer has not only made me physically stronger, but mentally too. As a team, we’ve played in the rain, heat, and cold, and through good and bad seasons. I also made some really good friends over the years. I play midfield, defense, and occasionally goalie and hope to continue improving in the future.

Cross Country Running

Recently, I’ve started trying more long-distance running. I began running more in Spring 2025 and joined Cross Country during Exeter Summer this year. On June 7th, I ran in my town’s annual Town Day Road Race, which was a 2.5-mile race. I finished in 24 minutes and 22 seconds. I ran in another race this fall, the Glen Doherty Memorial 5K Road Race, and finished in 29 minutes and 50 seconds, which is a new personal record.

Swimming

I used to take swimming lessons at the YMCA when I was very young.  I have taken lessons with Coach Mei Han from Mei's Typhoon Swim Club in Sudbury, MA. Under her guidance, I greatly improved my technique and endurance. I am interested in joining a swim club or team in the future!

Skiing

I love skiing. I started learning skiing at Nashoba Valley and now ski mostly at Crotched Mountain. I ski mostly Blues, although I enjoy trying a Black from time to time.

Taekwondo

Throughout elementary school, I took classes at Ku’s Taekwondo Academy. I earned my black belt in fifth grade. Taekwondo has made me stronger, both physically and mentally, and taught me respect, discipline, self-control, and perseverance.

Equestrian

In the past, I’ve been horseback riding multiple times. I went to Windkist Equestrian Center for a few summers and learned to ride and take care of horses.

Dancing

I took dance lessons from 2016 to 2023 at various studios and won several awards. I made a lot of friends at dance, and it taught me grace and control.

​

​My awards include:

  • 2022  Elite Dance Challenge, "Overall high point"

  • 2022  Elite Dance Challenge, "1st place in young recreational large group"

  • 2021 V-O On Stage Talent Show, "Hoot Award" for "demonstrating dance talents and confidence"
