I am the grandson of a Duke University scholarship track and field and football athlete. I have learned the meaning of athletic and academic discipline from both my parents and my grandfather. I have the ability to balance rigorous academic coursework with the physical, mental, and time demands of track and field.
I do not want to be just another college student -- I want to be a college student-athlete.
I want to make a difference in my community and country. I am starting a youth track team as a big first step in service to my community. I feel that competing in track and field at a collegiate level will allow me to further hone the skills needed to pursue my dream to be an orthopedic surgeon.
I want to be a standout student-athlete.
I am Michael O'Leary.
