From the coaching staff:
"Tory was a rock for our team. Her dedication to the team and love for her teammates helped keep everyone together. She loves to run and loves to put the work in to make herself a better runner, which helps to explain her passion for cross country, and the steeple chase - two of the more grueling races we have. She was a great mentor for her younger teammates; in every class below her she has someone who she was integral in teaching the teams values. She was also an awesome leader outside of running, helping show so many the ropes academically." - March 2020 

What others say:
"Thanks for making every day fun and spontaneous! I know I can always count on you as an adventure buddy when exploring new places as we travel around for meets." - March 2020

"Tory was always there to run a hard workout or an easy run with. She always put her best foot forward and let nothing stand in her way. She was so mentally tough during every race on the track or the cross country course. The team will miss her happiness, adaptability and overall driven attitude!" - March 2020

"Tory is an amazing teammate; she is the best person to have cheering for you in a race and the best person to go to for anything. She works so hard in both athletics and school but is always there when you need to have fun and go on adventures to escape all that stuff." - March 2020 

"Tory is a great teammate who supports everyone on the team. She works incredibly hard and helps promote positivity on the team." - March 2020

"Tory has an incredible positive energy and can brighten anyone's day. She is kind and welcoming to all and will be missed so much!" - April 2020
