Personal Statement
I was introduced into running by my older sister. She wouldn't stop bugging me to join her because she wouldn't take no for an answer. I decided to join just to give it a try. I eventually loved it and was soon beating my sister in races. It was a nice way for us to bond before she left for college. It was sad seeing her leave because of how much we bonded. I'm a hard worker and train to be the best at running. I became a varsity runner my sophomore year of high school and became the fastest on the team my senior year. My fastest 5k is a 16:09, 3mile is 15:27, 2 mile is 9:45, and my mile is a 4:38. I really want to run in college and I strive to get better. My goal is to be around the low or mid 14 minutes for a 5k towards the end of college. I hope to accomplish this goal with a great team and school.
