Personal Statement

I plan to major in chemistry or biology, then go on to graduate school. I am fascinated with how the world works. Since I joined the track team my Sophomore year I have come to realize that in addition to my strong interest in science I am passionate about throwing and pushing myself as far as I can go athletically as well as academically. I relish the spirit and opportunity to support and be supported by my team. I have been working with a weight trainer this summer and plan to continue through the fall to improve my power and speed. In season, I show up to practice everyday and work to the best of my ability.  I am very excited about the opportunity to participate in a competitive athletic program where I can throw shot and hammer throughout my college career.
