Personal Statement

Hello. I am Solomon Griffen class of 2025. My aspirations as a student athlete include majoring in Music with an Emphasis in Business and running the hurdles and sprints. I specialize in the 110MHH and 300MIH but have recently began running the 100M and 200M. What makes me a good candidate for your program and team is my willingness to improve my technique and learn. I am very competitive, dedicated and am seeking a program where I will compete early as a Freshman and contribute to conference and national championships. Track is not a seasonal sport or activity for me. It is my sport and activity along with music year round. My long term goal is to make the US at olympic trials in 2028.  From a technical aspect, I am able to compete with anyone. This determination has carried me into becoming a 100M and 200M sprinter as well. This is because I am constantly working to perfect my form while growing my speed strength and endurance. What makes me different from other recruits is my love of life and wanting to see others succeed. As an emerging musician and business leader, I am a section leader and principal Cellist in the Orchestra, leading 12 Cellists, playing both the Piano and Cello. Therefore, I will audition for your music school. I plan on earning an MBA as well. In track, I assist coaches with the JV hurdlers and have a younger brother and other hurdlers who I help train on our club team. Competitiveness and determination is what you will find in my uploaded videos. Leadership and a willingness to help others succeed on our team is very important to me. Lastly, I will enter your school with approximately 34 earned college credits through Concurrent Enrollment and Advanced Placement. I look forward to the opportunity to chat more about how I fit your program goals and how I can meet your recruiting standards.
