4:33 Mile @ 2023 ...Personal Statement
Hello coaches,
My name is Andrew Linkenhoker, and I am a current junior at Monson Junior/Senior High School. I have competed in varsity cross-country, and track and field, since my 7th grade year. My current PR, is a 16:17 for the 5k, 9:52 for the full 2 mile, and a 4:28 for the full mile. This season, I ran 16:48 and the Wickham Park Invitational, placing third. I also placed third at both the Division 3 Western Mass Championship, third at the Division 3C State Qualifiers, and I competed at the Division 3 All-State Championship. I have made high honors throughout high school, and have won four academic awards for the highest GPA in my classes last year. I also joined the Emerging Elites in the summer of 2021, and trained with them over the winter season of 2021-2022. I am looking forward to continue to grow and improve all throughout high school, and beyond.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew
