Personal Statement
Since joining my school's track and field team in sixth grade, I have become attached to the many challenges and joys of this sport. Unlike other activities offered at schools around the nation, track and field allows one to push their body and skills to their limits, and to watch their growth through the breaking of their own records. This aspect of the sport has always resonated with me, and has encouraged me to push myself to ever greater heights over the years. I wish to compete at the college level so that I may continue to push myself and improve my skills.
My time running track has allowed me to push myself beyond my limits, and has taught me the values of dedication and hard work. I have learned to remain humble in victory and hungry in defeat, and am always reaching for that next milestone in my competitive career. Running track and field at the college level would allow me to continue to improve my skills and to realize my potential in this sport.
