Why do you want to run the Olympic Marathon Trials?
Watching the Olympics on TV changed my life. During the '92 Olympics Ximena Restrepo became the first Colombian to earn a bronze medal in any running event. Watching her inspired me to become a runner. As a result of this experience, I believe in representation and the power to positively change someone's life through athletics. I hope to one day represent Colombia in an international field so others, like me, can be inspired.
