AIESHA GOODLOW

Kentwood

Grade: Senior.

Sport: Track & Field.

Accomplishment: Goodlow established two personal bests last week, uncorking a 17-6 in the long jump and blistering the track with a time of 16.9 seconds in the 100 hurdles. The two performances helped the Conquerors knock off Kent-Meridian, and helped Kentwood secure the first girls track title in school history.

Favorite class: Audio Recording.

If you could invite anyone in the world to dinner, whom would you invite, and what would you serve: I would invite my family from Oklahoma and the Philippines because I can’t just choose one person and I rarely see them. I would serve all the good stuff, like lumpia and the traditional things.

Greatest athletic moment: This year’s track meet against Kent-Meridian. I had a PR in all my events and went all the way to 17 feet from 16 feet in the long jump.

Most recent book read/author: “Fast Food Nation” by Eric Schlosser.

What’s on your iPod?: “All I do is win,” by DJ Khaled.
