   While I compete in events from the 200 meters up to the 5K, my favorite event is the 800 meters.

3. What’s the best part of running?
   The best part of running is being part of a team, setting goals for yourself and working to achieve those goals.

4. Do you have a favorite memory of running for Naz?
   My favorite memories of running for Naz are the fun times we have talking and singing on the bus rides to Lehigh University during the indoor track season.

5. What is your favorite color and candy?
   My favorite color is pink, and my favorite candy is Twix.
