Personal Statement
Greetings Coaches,
I have recently completed my sophomore year at St. Thomas Aquinas High School. In the past 2 years, I have had the honor and privilege to run with one of the best Division III teams in the state of Ohio for track and cross country. During my 2015-2016 freshman season, the St. Thomas Aquinas girl's outdoor track and cross country teams were both Division III State Champions. My sophomore cross country season was also very successful. We finished the season as Division III State runner-ups. Indoor track season kicked off well as we were indoor state champions in the 4 x 800 m race. I finished my sophomore year winning the 4 x 800 m race, and we were state runner-ups in the 4 x 400 m race. I am looking forward to the challenges of the upcoming season, and hope to reach new goals and personal records.
I am a motivated team player and a self-starter. Academics and a competitive but cohesive running program are some of the most important qualities I am looking for in my college selection. I enjoy running everything from the 100 m dash in track to 5-K runs in cross country. I am always willing to put team goals ahead of personal goals. I am truly grateful to be part of the St. Thomas Aquinas program and have learned leadership qualities and a strong work ethic from my teammates and coaches. My goal after high school is to be part of competitive college program with a strong team bond and to achieve academic success.
Respectfully,
Hannah Ohman
