Q&A With Hornet of the Week Christina Washington

The Lynchburg College athletic department each week showcases a question and answer feature with our Hornet of the Week. The seventeenth student-athlete in this series is senior indoor track and field sprinter, Christina Washington. The Silver Spring, Maryland native finished fourth in the 400-meter dash in 59.67 seconds in the Vince Brown Invitational at Christopher Newport University on Saturday afternoon. Her time ranks her first in the 400m in the ODAC this season. She also ran 26.89 in the 200-meter dash this weekend, ranking her first in the conference. 

Why did you choose Lynchburg College?
I chose Lynchburg College because I really liked that it was a nurturing and loving community. LC has also been able to help me excel academically.

What is your favorite moment thus far as a Hornet?
It's really hard to just pick one, but definitely last year's indoor season, when the women's 4x4 relay team won, and  the whole team cheered along the side of the last turn on the track.

What are your expectations for the rest of the season?
I'm taking it one week at a time, I just need to make sure that I eat, sleep and breathe running to watch the times get faster.

What do you like most about LC track and field?
I love that we are all like a family. I am able to communicate with the team inside and outside of practice. We all care for each other,work hard and motivate on another. We spend so much time together and track is a long season, but we make the best of every situation.
 
What is your favorite class or teacher?
My favorite class is yoga, because I am able to focus before a hard workout.

What are your aspirations after graduation?
I have just completed all of my graduate school applications, so I am hoping for admittance into Howard University in Washington DC

What is your favorite thing about LC and this campus?
My favorite thing about LC campus is that you can recognize everyone, and it isn't awkward to give a little smile or say hello.
