My name is Kristen and I am a freshman at Heritage High School. I was born in Long Beach California, however I've been living in North Carolina since I was four. I am a part of the varsity cross country and track team here at the high school. I've been running since I was eight, and ever since then I've kept up with it. I've participated in several different track meets and 5k's, such as the Powerade State Games and the Gobblers Run 5k. Running takes me to a whole different world where I'm relaxed and feel like nothing is holding me back.
