- 2021 Spotlight
Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer since the age of five and I love the excitement and competition of the sport! When I was a freshman in high school, I was a starter for the varsity soccer team and I also ran (sprints and hurdles) with the varsity track team (both winter and spring) to compliment my soccer skills and improve my athleticism during the off-season. I continued to compete at soccer and track throughout my high school career, earning various accolades and medals. As Captain of the soccer team my senior year, I helped lead our high school team to a win at the State Championship in 2021.
Despite Covid-19 having a significant impact on various sports, I competed at National Cup XX (Denver) with my club soccer team , and I earned a spot in several events at track and field nationals during each of 3 seasons (New Balance Nationals Indoor Championship, NY, New Balance Nationals Outdoor Championship, NC and The Outdoor Nationals by Nike, OR , where I medaled 3 times to become an All American).
I am a dedicated and determined student-athlete, and am passionate about everything I do, which is the reason I excel scholastically and athletically.
Though I have competed at the highest level of high school sports in both soccer and track, I am not yet satisfied with my accomplishments and strive for more. I love challenging myself, both physically and mentally, and I look forward to learning how much more I can achieve at the collegiate level in my education and athletics.
