Dear Coaches
My name is Zebene Martine, I am currently a Sophomore at Smithson Valley High School; I have always loved running as a kid and my running career started when I played soccer. I played soccer for about 8 years and then I realized my talents were suited for just running and this is where my real journey began. Starting my Freshmen year I didn't play soccer and I focused on running, I had ran the 1600 and 800 in track in middle school but I didn't really think much of it until Cross Country and Track my Freshmen year of High School. My times were dropping like flies, every race I just kept cutting seconds off. Overtime running has shown me being a part of a team gave me the courage and strength to push myself, without the team cheering me on and supporting me I would have never accomplished what I have achieved so far in this journey; I love running but I believe the best moments were pushing through the hardest workouts with my teammates, laughing on the long bus rides each other, and hanging out at team dinners, In the end I strive to get better but not only in my running career but my academics as well, I have not really decided on what I would like to study but that just means I'm open to learn about what my options would be, Academically I'm trying to improve by Studying and reviewing every step over and over again until I get it right.
Sincerely
Zebene Martine
