Personal Statement
I am a 5'11" senior from Bolton, Connecticut. I will be graduating in June 2011. I have been running competitively for two years now. During my first year on the cross country team in the fall of 2009 I earned the title of All-Conference, All-State, and Bolton High's Most Outstanding Runner. The cross country team also won the state championship for the second consecutive year. In this years season I won my NCCC Conference meet, was the Class S State Champion, placed 5th in the CT State Open, and earned All New England placing 12th out of 270 runners. Having run for only two years, I feel that my accomplishments thus far are only the beginning of my full potential as a runner and what I can contribute as a member of a college team.
I understand that I have begun the recruiting process late in my high school career, but I am still interested in exploring the possibility of running cross country at a competitive level. I am open to looking at all division levels. Coming from Connecticut, I would prefer to stay on the East coast. I am interested in a rural or small city location.
