Q & A With the ‘Cats – Get to know Siena Noe

Year: Junior

Home Town: Yakima, WA

Major/Minor: Communications/Spanish

Why did you come to Linfield?

I liked the school size, the pretty campus, and Mr. Greg Mitchell. I’d also heard great things about the study abroad program and I wanted to run! Linfield gave me a lot of money, too, which always helps :)

What is your fondest memory thus far from your time at Linfield?

XC hands down.

What is it that you enjoy most about cross country?

The team aspect and the racing!

Who is your athletic hero/role-model?

My teammates.

Do you crinkle your race bib number or leave it smooth?

CRINKLE.

What’s your most embarrassing athletic moment?

Before running my first 800m race in track I asked my coach what my strategy should be. He said to sprint from the get go, run as fast as possible for both laps. Absurd advice…I placed dead last after having led the first lap. Pretty sure I crawled across the finish line.

What is your favorite movie?

Gran Torino

What song is most played on your iPod?

The Collapse – Adelita’s Way

What is your homepage on your computer?

Google

What words of wisdom would you offer to a college-bound high school senior? 

This is one of the only times in your life where you have this kind of freedom before you’re saddled with the responsibilities of the “real world” like say, a kid. Make the most of it. Get involved. It opens the door to roughly three thousand bajillion opportunities.
