Hello, my name is Corey Phillips. I am currently a Freshman at Kaneland high school in Maple park Illinois. I am a diligent worker that wants to compete at the highest level in college. Track and field is one of my favorite sports because it takes a lot of hard work to succeed. In my athletic history, I have qualified for state for 7th and 8th grade Illinois IESA state tournament. I was all-state in middle school for the 200 meter dash and the 4x200 meter relay, placing 6th in both events. My 200 meter dash time (at the state meet) was 23.87 seconds. I am currently running on the Kaneland high school varsity track team. In the future, I really want to pursue my goal of competing in college track and field.Thank you for reading my personal statement. I am looking forward to your response.
