Personal Statement
My name is Nicholaus Ripley, I am currently in my junior year of highschool. I plan to perfect my javelin throwing form prior to and during the 2016 and 2017 Track seasons, while strength training now and throughout the remaining off seasons. This will prepare me to compete immediately after enrolling in a collegiate Track and Field program. By studying hard and maintaining a strong focus on academics, I will also succeed in building a strong academic portfolio. I will enroll in the fall semester of a 4-year college without delay after graduating from high school.
