Personal Statement
Coach:
I am one of the top Junior Elite Triathletes in the country but my passion is running. It started in the 5th grade when I set our school record in the mile. Then, as an 8th grader, I set the school district record in the mile. I am competitive and want to win. I enjoy all aspects of training including maintaining a gluten free diet to keep inflammation down. I look forward to running in college simply because I love it and have not come close to reaching my full potential. I have great Midwest work ethic and when I set a goal for myself, I pour every bit of my soul into it until it is achieved. I would fit in best at any college whose running program also has big goals and aspirations!
