I would love to attend a D1 school to compete in XC/TF. I am an extremely hard worker not only in XC but in TF. I have overcome feats and setbacks and continue to try and strive while preventing anything from falling off keeping my eye on all aspects of running. This is a sport I take very seriously, I base my day to day life around it through nutrition, hydration, recovery tactics, and pre-habbing. I have led my team as being the number one runner since my sophomore year and have continued to show my support even when injured by coming to practices, meets, volunteering at local meets as well. I have worked with many specialists who have helped me realize what I need personally as a runner. Never putting aside my hopes and aspirations of becoming an ocean lifeguard I was able to complete the training academy and TF training in the same season. I have built strong connections not only with my teammates but with my competitors with other teams as well. Working hard with each other and pushing each other to be the best we can be is a strong belief I have. I love having the team aspect and being part of it is a big part of my life.
