for the 800 and 1600.”
High Point University offers everything she is looking for, including academic majors and motivational coaches and teammates. Moxley has an interest in forensic psychology.
“Ever since she started, she’s been improving rapidly. She got me into joining the track and field team, even though I’m probably not going to be as good as she is,” said Mikayla’s brother Andrew.

Moxley said, “I’m really excited to have the opportunity to practice with a coach that has lots of experience with track and I’m also looking forward to working with a team that has other students who share the same athletic goals as me.”
After graduating college, Moxley said “I hope to get a job with a law firm where I get to determine if witnesses are fit to stand trial.”
