Personal Statement
I am Sarah Sparkman and I have been running since my freshman year of high school. Throughout those years of being a student athlete I have maintained a GPA of 3.38 or better, and have joined the French honors society. I plan to study English and law in the future. I look forward to continuing running along with my education.
I was named most improved runner in both cross country and track this past year, and I am prepared to work hard in the years to come in order to continue improving. I hope to get my 5k time down to 20 minutes in my senior year and break 20 minutes once I get to college. My goal is to compete and improve my times at the collegiate level in both track and cross country so that I can help support my new team. A team is a family and without family we have nothing. If there is one thing my high school coach has taught me, it is that success is not achieved on your own.
