Muskingham Jan 2023Ben Shields 3200 ...Personal Statement
Since my freshman year, my long-term goal has been to be a college athlete. As a Varsity Track and Cross Country runner, my strengths include endurance, consistency as well as being coachable and a great teammate. I also can listen to criticisms and learn from it. In 2022, I went to the State Meet in both Track and Cross Country. In 2023, I attended the National New Balance Indoor meet in the 2mile championship race. I just finished my Junior year Track season as 3rd in the State of Ohio in Division 2 in the 3200 and 1st at the Adidas National Meet in Greensboro, NC.
Outside of my athletics, my academics are very important as I am currently enrolled in the college credit plus program through the University of Akron. I serve my school and community through student council Secretary and as the President of the Rotary Interact Club. I plan to earn a 4-year degree in business while contributing to a college team to the best of my ability.
