Personal Statement
I started high jumping 2 years ago. I have jumped 6' 2" in practice and already have the strength to jump higher. My coach and I are working this summer on developing my technique. I played high school basketball my freshmen and sophomore year, then transitioned to track and field. There I discovered my passion for high jumping. I'm in the gym 5 days a week working on my strength and conditioning. I am confident I will clear 6' 4" next season, but my goal for my senior year is 6' 6".
My priorities are first to get a good education and then focus on my high jumping. My GPA is a 2.8 and I am working hard to get that higher by getting tutoring this summer and also during my senior year. I would like to study Kinesiology as a major and then become a physical therapist.
