VYPE: How long have you been running Track & Field and how did you get your start?

Hughes: I started running with the track club at the YMCA in the 4th grade. Running was used to help keep me in shape for basketball.

Hughes: I eat a half of a Turkey Sandwich and Water, jog through 3 times, run through twice, then Pop up Phase Drills

VYPE: Off the field, what is your favorite thing to do?

VYPE: In all of your years of playing baseball, what is the one memory you'll never forget?
