Personal Statement
I would like to be a contribution to the team that I would be a part of. I feel I am a good candidate because I am a strong competitor and I have a drive to be the best I can be. I do a lot of research on other runners that I will be competing with before I run a race against them. I have a strong work ethic and I am very coachable. I have had the privilege to have two parents that are both cross country and track coaches. I have grown up around running since I was born. My parents have been very supportive throughout my running and are also great role models. I am very conscientious about my academics. I have maintained a 3.97 grade point through out my three years of high school. I also feel very strongly about volunteering and being a good role model for my peers, teammates and younger athletes.
