Personal Statement
My name is Zachery Pogioli and I am currently a Senior at Deer Creek Mackinaw High School. I have been an avid track athlete since junior high and have a passion for the sport. I strive to excel and have an unmatched commitment to continually better myself for each season. My goal is to be a competitive athlete at the collegiate level while obtaining a first rate education majoring in Biochemistry. My 2012 outdoor season goals were to break the 51.0 mark in the open 400m dash and in the 4x400m relay and be a state qualifier in both events. At the end of the season I had met both goals and am now setting my sights on going below the 50.0 second mark in both events.
