Mara Clark hammer...Personal Statement
I am extremely passionate about throwing, my desire to get better and throw my best at every meet is indescribable. My goals and aspirations for college are to receive a degree in nursing, or sports medicine. I also wish to compete at the collegiate level in discus, hammer and weight. I am a very outgoing team player that loves to lead the team, I am very encouraging to other teammates I work with. I am usually the first one at practice and the last one to leave. I am very dedicated both on and off the field. I spend my weekends usually at the ring throwing hammer or discus. Throwing has personally changed who I am, I am now the most dedicated athlete you will see. I workout in the summer and winter with the football players at my high school, getting in shape and building muscle for throwing.
