Lily comes from a long line of track athletes: Great grandfather ran at the 1908 Penn Relays, grandfather ran track at the University of North Carolina, dad ran track at Navy. Her coach is Jen Pruskowski and she’s been a great influence for Lily both on and off the track for 7 years.
She is also a straight "A" student and involved in a huge number of activities.
