Personal Statement
I am Adam Patel, a cross country and track runner from Kentucky. I’ve always been in the top groups on my team and amongst the top finishers in races, most notably achieving podium finishes in 2 events during the 2022-23 track season state meet, and finishing top 5 in the Rising Star class at New Balance Outdoor Nationals in the 2 mile this year. I am motivated, determined, and aggressive during races and practices. I stand out from other athletes because of my commitment and my grit during races and practice. I also stand out in terms of academics because I have a 3.95 unweighted GPA and I often take AP and Honors classes over other ones. I have also scored a 32 on my ACT and am yet to take the SAT. Overall, I would be a great pick for your program.
