Personal Statement
I just finished my first year in track and cross country after transitioning from 10 years of competitive soccer. I continue to experience success including runner-up in the 800m in the State Class 5 Championships, a 4:16.21 PR in the 1600m, a 16:00 5k during my debut cross country season, and a 7th place All-State finish in the Class 5 state XC meet. I started track in Winter 2024 training in sprints and hurdles. I quickly realized that I find satisfaction in achieving my goals and setting new ones, something that happens more consistently in track than in soccer. My coaches have described me as focused, hardworking, a teamplayer, and having range and raw talent.

• Placing 5th in my region (VHSL Region 5C)
• Placing 7th in the Class 5 state meet and achieving All-State
I look forward to logging miles over the summer as I head into my Senior year. I want to continue my athletic achievements in college through competing with a strong track and cross program, while also challenging myself academically.
