Personal Statement
My name is Hannah Penn and I am a distance runner from Illinois. My passion for running started at a young age and has grown strong enough for me to have the desire to compete at the college level. I believe I am the type of person that is willing to improve in anything and everything I do and I know that there is always something that I can improve in whether it's in school or at practice. I believe that I am a very coachable athlete as well as a good student.
Although running in college is a major goal of mine, academics are just as important to me. I would like to be at a school that is the right fit for me academically, socially, and athletically. I would also like a school that is a reasonable distance from home, although I am not opposed to looking at schools across the country.
Being a college athlete is something that I have wanted to do for a long time and I hope that I can come into a team where I can help improve myself and others.
