Personal Statement
Participating in track is something I thoroughly enjoy and would love to participate in at the college level. Running is an ability that comes naturally to me, and it is something that I have only dreamed of doing at the collegiate level. To compete at this intense level would teach me so much about the sport that I love and it would change my life completely.
My best running trait is my natural endurance, and I have even competed in multiple half- marathon races beginning at just 15 years old. On the track I give my workouts every ounce of energy in me, and I am a very coachable athlete. Further, I have been leading the Varsity track team at my school for the past two years now and I am very respected as a leader. I lead my fellow team mates by example and I always push them to do their best.
In the classroom, I work rigorously to maintain my 4.0 GPA. I also participate in activities throughout the community and volunteer at local triathlons and at a local horse farm. The biggest position I currently hold is Senior Class President, and it is my goal to reach out to every senior at my school and assist them in any way that I can.
It is my priority to find a college that best suits my educational needs, but if there is also a track program that suits me I will be overjoyed. I am open to all options and want to primarily place my education over athletic ability. I hope to become a collegiate athlete to compete at the next level and primarily make my friends and family proud.
