- I am a dedicated Track & Filed Student/Athlete with aspirations of Division I Athletics as well a pursuing a Degree in either Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Added to the Varsity team as a Freshman I went on to win the Texas Charter School Academic and Athletic League State Championship in the 4X100M Relay and Long Jump. I was also voted Best Track & Field Athlete of the Year all while maintaining a GPA of 3.7 and being invited to join the National Society of High School Scholars. My ultimate dream is to participate in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angelas in the 100M, 200M and Long Jump events.
For the last 5yrs I have competed in AAU Track & Field with the Flying Dragons Youth Track & Field Team under coach Rodney Cole. I am a 3X All American in Long Jump (2018 - Outdoor Jr. Olympics Champ; 2019 - Club Nationals Champ; 2021 - Indoor Jr. Olympic Champ). I hold the Gulf Region meet record for 11 yr. old and Gulf District Meet Record for 12yr olds both in Long Jump. I also currently rank in the top 5 in the country for 14yr olds in the 100M (11.2) and 200M (22.1) and top 2 in Long Jump (21' 8").
I am the son of a former professional athletes (my Dad played minor league baseball with the NYY), I'm dedicated to my on and off season training, working out with Justin Allen @All-En Sports in the off season for strength and conditioning. I am as passionate about practice as I am about competing. I don't believe in missing practice because it give me the chance to prefect my skills.
