Born: February 26, 1989 in Somers Point
I most root for: Pittsburgh Steelers
My sports hero: My dad, Ali Ghanavati - he taught me how to play soccer and 
	he is a very talented athlete himself
What I like about track: I love running. When I've had a bad day, I know after 
	I run everything will be alright again. Something about running makes me 
	forget about the bad things that are happening. I know I can always confide 
	in my track girls when I need help. We are all one big, happy family that 
	supports each other through our best and worst times (literally).
What I'd change about track: Middle school and high school coaches should not 
	cut students from track teams. There should also be uniformed sweats given 
	out to athletes. And team captains should be brought back to track. 
My other high school sport: soccer
Other sports I enjoy: football and volleyball
Most memorable sports experience: the summer before my junior year the sprint 
	medley team qualified for Nationals in Raleigh NC. The team consisted of 
	Kelsey Greene, Erin Walsh, Renee Tomlin and me. We were in one of the slowest 
	heats and were not expected to make the top six. We ended up not only winning 
	our heat, but we received fifth place. I can still remember standing on the 
	podium with our medals, everyone grinning from ear to ear. It was the best 
	feeling I have ever had.
