Personal Statement
I am looking to run cross country and track at the collegiate level and I aspire to become a professional runner someday. I work hard every day to accomplish my goal of being a collegiate runner, because I don't accept anything but the best from myself. I will work tirelessly and push myself to beyond my limits to accomplish my goals. I am a naturally talented runner, but I am definitely not the most gifted. Many other runners at my level do not have to work as hard to accomplish the same things as me. I thrive off of this, it only makes me want to work harder. I know I have to work extremely hard if I want to perform at the highest level I possibly can, and I am willing to do so. When I put my mind to something, I get it done. I am also very strong academically. I have a high GPA, and I challenge myself in school by taking honors and AP courses. My coaches have never had to worry about my academic eligibility, and they never will. My grades and academic success is a top priority. I am very open to different schools in different regions and different coaches with different coaching styles. What I'm really looking for is a coach who can help me become the best runner I can be, paired with a school in which I can find academic success.
