Hello, my name is Marquis Edwards. I would like to thank you for considering me, and allowing me the opportunity to connect with you from my profile. I am a 17 year old senior in high school, and I have a lot of academic and athletic potential. I work and study very hard in my classes and I am taking classes like college Prep English and criminal justice. I have been taking challenging class for the last three years. My parents and I felt it was best for me to take the most challenging classes early so that in my senior year I can focus on the ACT without being distracted by the challenges and pressures of these classes. My plan is to focus on raising my GPA in my senior year and focusing on scoring as high as I can on the ACT. As far as my athletic future with your school, I feel that I am just scratching the surface of my true talent on my high school track team. Which with the right training, will make me a valuable asset and addition to your track team. In my sophomore year at the beginning of the season I ran a 55.6 split on the 4x400m team. By the end of the season we went to the state track championship and my split dropped to 50.9 as the first leg of the team. I have done more weight training, form and technique training, as well as distance run training, in order to try to duplicate the advances that I made my sophomore year. I ran my junior season in the open 400m and the anchor on the 4x400m team where I ran in the 50 and 51 range consistently. I know that I will be a great addition to your track program after I graduate, because I am a hard worker and eager to learn from the best in order to become the best student track athlete that I can be, and possibly one of your star runners. I am also dedicated and determined to get my college degree. I dream of becoming an Olympian, and I know that with the right training and guidance I can achieve both my goal and this dream. All I am truly asking for is a chance to prove myself to any college coach who is willing to give me a chance to succeed in college academics and college athletics. Thank you for your time
