Personal Statement
My name is Shariffah Mason and I am currently a senior in high school. My main sport is track and field. All the events I have participated in my high school career were high jump, triple jump, 400m, 200m, 4x100, and 4x400. My dominant and favorite event is the triple jump. As of right now, I am undefeated after all our regular outdoor 2015 dual meets. my best two invitationals I competed in were at Ledyard and Middletown high school. I placed first at Ledyard with a jump of 33" and second at Middletown's with a jump of 35'8" (faulted my winning jump at 36'3"). In 4x4 I've always ran the anchor because I am a reliable person to either keep our lead or catch any opponent ahead. our best time was 4:18 and my best 400 time was 65 seconds (62 in 4x4). In triple jump I placed 1st in our conference meet and in my states meet. In my state opens I placed 5th and qualified for the New England’s regional championships. There I competed and came in 6th place (out of 35 competitors I was seeded 17th). I am also an excellent student at Middletown High in Middletown, Connecticut. My GPA is currently a 3.6 (A’s and B’s student). In college I’d like my major to be nursing. I am a hard and dedicated worker with anything and everything I do. I make sure I can reach my full potential in school and in sports. I take both very seriously and hope to reach my goals in the future. Feel free to contact me at any time and I’m also willing to answer any questions.
