60 m 6’99 (7th in France) – 100 m 10’81 (7th in France) – 200 m 21’83 (6th in France)

​
Why do you want to compete at US Colleges?

For me, US Universities are the best to realize this triple project (English, Studies and Sport) with efficient structures, staff, where coaches and teachers work together for the student athlete’s success.
And because University sport is highly valued and recognized and especially Athletics too in USA.
​
What do you want to achieve in Track?
