Track and Field is still relatively new to me, seeing as I started my freshman year of high school after 13 years of competitive dance, but it has not held me back from accomplishing my goals. I originally joined to be a high jumper, and still am one, but fell in love with the 400m dash and qualified for state in the 4x400m relay this past year. My goals have always been to keep growing as an athlete, be a supportive and enthusiastic teammate, and to build confidence in myself without feeling the need to compare myself to others. I believe and enjoy the fact that track and field is a competitive sport not just between athletes, but within oneself. My post-secondary plans are to become an elementary school teacher, and I am grateful for any opportunity to study while continuing to run!
