TM: Destinee Hooker is my athletic hero because she is a Olympic volleyball player.

CC: How do you feel being Athlete of the Month?

JM: I’m kinda shocked and happy.

CC: Why do you think you were chosen for Athlete of the Month?

CC: How long have you been running X Country?

JM: For two years this is my second year.

CC: What do you like most about X Country?

JM: Everything, I love X Country, I like it better than track to be honest. We go out on a three miles run, you’re around nature, and no one watches how you run. It’s just you.

CC: Who is your athletic hero? Why?

JM: It would have to be my coaches, Coach Adolfo Carcano and Assistant Coach Fernando Jauregu Well, my assistant coach because he has the same injury that I have and because he’s being helpful. And my coach because he’s been through a lot and he still supports us.

CC: Do you see yourself running X Country in the future? Why or Why not?

JM: I‘m actually thinking about it, hopefully I do.
