Sarah has always been an athlete. Her dad put her on her first soccer team when she was three and since then has always been in love with the sport. Her mom was a single mom and so to keep the kids busy after school Sarah signed up for every sport her school offered, up until 8th grade but when she got to High School, she found her true love, running.
As a Semi-state cross country runner Sarah was known for her Pep talks before races. When she got to college she said good buy to sports but found running again after losing her brother in 2010. Since then she has become an ambassador the Houston Marathon and now serves as the in Stadium announcer for the Houston Dash.
“The game will change but if you love it, you’ll find a way to stay in it”.
