Peyton Washington '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been running track since I was eight years old and I have never gotten tired of the sport. From the first moment I stepped foot on the track I fell in love with the adrenaline rush of accomplishment that comes  from running. Track and Field has continued to fulfill me both mentally, physically, and has challenged me greatly. It has shaped me into the person I am today. Not only has the sport taught me how to persevere and to lose gracefully, it has also given me determination to move forward even if I’m unsure about what lies ahead.

My goals and aspirations this year and moving forward are to establish a new high school record for the 800m at my school, improve that time as the year progresses and to pursue my degree in psychology in an effort to help others.

What makes me a great candidate is that I am a team player and fearless leader. I’m disciplined, and I truly love the sport. I cherish the life long bonds that this sport creates within me and the sense of self satisfaction to see a plan come together when hard work pays off. I am a scholar athlete who is very disciplined and committed to winning. My fun-loving and outgoing personality compliments my hard work and determination, knowing that the work comes first

I would love to continue this journey in college as I have always believed it is my destiny to become an all-american.
