Taiyana Battiste '18 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Taiyana Battiste , I am 16 years old born and raised in Macomb, Michigan. I started running around the age 12 turning 13 at first during middle school when I found out track was even a sport then I though okay lets try it out something besides volleyball and basketball. Ive been doing both sports since I was little. My first day of tryouts I was very nervous I'm about to run my fist 200,  I'm thinking to myself , "ive never done this a day in my life what do I do omg" once I got help  I put myself in the blocks head down arms shoulder length apart behind the line as I prepare to hear the coaches say "go" I'm still really scared. Next thing you know I hear "go" I take off so fast. Next thing you know I'm ahead of everyone I'm the youngest one in the group running and I beat everyone. That day I knew I started something great and I could accomplish anything I put my mind to. I got all the coaches attention and eversince then ive been turning coaches heads and Ive loved track even more.
