I am currently am a senior at Sharon High School in Sharon MA. I started running in my freshmen year of high school, and I quickly found my passion for this sport. My freshmen year, I wasn't the fastest runner on my team. I ran a 19:45 5k my freshmen year, and I kept working hard every day to get better at running. My hard work and determination was the cause of my improvement in time by almost 3 min, and this hard work is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Now, I am working even harder to win big meets like divisionals, and qualify for more National Races. Academically, I am very focused and hardworking. I am a Honor roll Student for all years of high school, and I am also in NHS. I hope to run in college to continue my running endeavors, and continue to achieve my running goals now and in the future.
