Personal Statement
I am a Junior at Prior Lake High School in Minnesota. I am a hard worker, and I want to pursue running at the collegiate level. I have been ruuning since 7th grade, and it has become my life ever since. My biggest jump was in the summer of 7th-8th grade where I dropped 2 minutes and 30 seconds in my 5k and 36 seconds in my mile time. It was from that point in time that I knew I wanted to run faster and faster until I ran in college.
I want to run in college to represent where I go and show that working my tail off really pays off. Success doesn't come naturally, and I keep that in my mind at all times. Putting in the work and dedicating myself to running and school has only made me want success more and more. I will bring a determined, strong willed student-athlete to any program, and I will work with my teammates to grow together and be successful as a team, as well as individually. Teamwork means everything to me, and with competitive teammates and a strong bond, we will win championships. I bring that to any team I belong to.
