Ultimate Frisbee

The Claremont Braineaters are a group of frisbee enthusiasts from all over the Claremont Colleges. We are an inclusive, gender expansive team and hold trainings three times a week for 2-hours to practice gameplay, strategy, and have a good time. We represented the South West region at the 2024 and 2025 USAU Men’s Division-III Nationals, earning the Team Spirit Award for outstanding knownledge of the game and sportsmanship in 2024. I’ve made countless memories with the team both on and off field, and I’m excited to see where we go this season.

Running

Growing up playing soccer throughout high school, transitioning into recreational running in college felt like a natural next step. I began my running journey in Summer 2024, starting with 5K and 10K runs alongside my dad. Since then, I’ve built consistency and endurance by setting personal challenges—most notably running 100 miles over 4 weeks during both of my past winter breaks (averaging about 3 miles per day). In Summer 2025, I completed my first half marathon at an 8:34 pace, and I’m currently working toward running a full marathon. Outside of running, I like to mix in jump rope, stair climbing, yoga, and weight training to stay well-rounded and prevent injury. Feel free to connect with me on Strava!

Pickleball

On weekends, my friends and I play pickleball at the Robert’s Pavillion at Claremont McKenna College. We play singles, doubles, and king of the court style play. It’s always a good time and our play sessions last anywhere from 2-4 hours each.
