Personal: Daughter of Jose and Elvia Sanchez. Majoring in psychology. Enjoys thrifting, listening to music, family time, fashion and making videos (edits). Lists taking first place in all her events during league finals in track and field as a sophomore as her most exciting experience in sports. Says she was told she was not good enough to race in one of the events, but not only did she win the event, she says she proved that no matter who doubts her, she will always keep going and use the negative comments as motivation.
