- 2013 Highlight
Personal Statement
My biggest priorities in life are family and school, but my passion is competing in track. Every single thing I do is devoted to being a better track athlete, that means in the classroom, on the field, and in the offseason. I train in the offseason by using the schools weight lifting program, competing in as many AAU or open events as possible, and doing drills and stretches to improve my speed, agility and endurance. No matter how good I get, I will ALWAYS strive to be better. I don't focus on being better than others, I focus to be better than myself every day by achieving new PR's. Track is on my mind 24/7. My biggest goal or dream is to compete at the college level in track and field and one day try out for the USA Olympic Track & Field team. I am willing to work as hard as I possibly can and learn from my teammates and coaches to become quicker, faster and better to make this dream come true. I run with confidence but realize every day I can learn and get better. I will push myself academically and athletically to be the best athlete and person I can be. I will strive to be a leader and produce on the field for my team while setting good examples off the field through good moral character and sound judgment. I won't stop working until I reach my goals, and when I do, then I will push myself even harder to go further.
