Personal Statement
Currently, I'm a senior at Lakeview High School where I'm half way through the cross country season. After having mono last year, my junior track season suffered, however, I feel much healthier and stronger this season. I know I had some missed opportunities, but it lit a fire in me to work hard this summer and have a great senior year. I've been awarded three varsity letters for cross country and our team has been a regional finalist all three seasons. I love running cross country, but my ambition is to compete at the collegiate level in track. I earned varsity letters all three years of track where I have consistently been the fastest hurdler on the team. At the AAC conference meet I placed second in the 100m hurdles, but my best performance of the season was at the district meet where I got my PR's of 17:03 in the 100m hurdles and 50.6 in the 300m hurdles. I'm always trying to reach my full potential in all aspects of life, whether it's being a two-sport varsity athlete, maintaining a 3.8 GPA, or investing my time in community service projects. Now that I'm a senior, I expect to reach my peak in high school athletics and continue my passion for running in college.
