What I like best about my sport: “I think it’s cool to go to the track
meets with everyone. Last time we had a lot of sun and everyone was
cheering for the others, and for you. You always meet the other
people from the other schools. You have the sport, but you also are
with people you know and there are new people to meet.”
Coach’s Comment: “Philipp has a great attitude, is always cheerful,
willing to help both his teammates and coaches, and he works hard to
improve himself.”
