Personal Statement
I have been running track and cross-country since middle-school, and have always loved the experience. I have been fortunate enough to have great team members and coaches who have taught me how to chase down my goals and aspirations. I have collected some great memories over the years; whether it was being named captain of the girls' cross-country and track teams, getting two MVP Awards in middle-school, having the honor of being named Rookie of the Year my freshmen year of high-school, earning the MVP Award as a sophomore for cross-country, or receiving the Coaches Award as a junior, I have enjoyed it all. What I love the most about running is the process of racing itself and pushing myself to break personal records. As I enter my senior year of high-school, I hope to view this final year of varsity running as the end of just one stage of my running career and the beginning of a whole new experience of college athletics.
