BG: What do you think about the high school portion of your life coming to an end pretty soon?
LV: “I’m going to miss it, but it’s time for a new change. I’m definitely going to miss running with Kieffer, Coach Welti and Coach Pruitt.”

LV: “I have just over a 4.0.”
BG: Is it difficult to do that well with so many other activities and interests going on?

BG: What are your plans for after high school?
LV: “Right now I’m looking at Franklin for athletic training, and I’d also like to run there.”
