As Maize Zamblowski approached the Head To Toe Athletics stand at Colgate University, she seemed excited and anxious to start her events. More than the excitement, she was full of pride for being a part of her team for Chittenango High School and being able to make a difference by competing in Triple Jump and Long Jump. I found this would be a great opportunity to ask Maize some questions about herself and the event she is involved in because of the happiness that was spread across her face for a sport she loved…
