Personal Statement
I began distance running the summer after my sophomore year in high school and I instantly knew it was the sport for me. I spent the entire summer putting in hard work and lots of miles and by the second meet of the 2014 cross country season I had made my schools varsity team, we went on to win regionals and become the Colorado 3A State Runner-Up team. Currently I am training and planning for success in my senior year of running, but looking even further ahead collegiate running is something I truly want to participate in. Although I am still some-what new to the sport, I believe I have the skills necessary to prosper at a high level of competition: constant hard work, dedication, and determination.
