I hope to compete at the next level and will not stop working hard until I get there. I came into the track season very unathletic but I used this as a source motivation. Now, I am heading into my second season of track. I knew if I kept training and studying that I could vastly improve. As well as athletics, I care deeply for academics, and work to keep my grades and gpa high. Balancing academics and athletics is important as it builds commitment, character, and confidence.
