"Basketball has always been a part of me. I try to practice whenever I can and push myself to be better I can say that is a major accomplishment for me. I have been playing the sport for about eight years. What I love most about basketball is the connection you can have with your teammates, I love that it is a team sport. But I also love defense, of course, a team needs a good offense, but good defending players is what makes a team."

Chloe said she also loves to swim and run.

"When I was little I swam on a swim team and I definitely miss it, but I try to get in a pool whenever I can," she said.

"I am very interested in nursing so I think I will be getting into the medical field. I have been on the high honor roll and honor roll all through high school and I am also involved in the National Honor Society. I play volleyball and I am still deciding on if I want to run track this year."

Chloe has simple reasons why she believes she has been so successful in basketball that others should follow: "I have always worked to get where I am today," she said.
