Competing on a collegiate sports team has always been a significant goal in my life. I have competed in gymnastics since I was 6 years old and have ran track since I was 12 years old. Through my past and current involvement in 4-H, DECA, National Honor Society, and school and club sports, I have effectively learned to manage my time so I can be successful in each area of my life. I am always willing to learn from others and am passionate about working hard to achieve my goals. I have held a captain position on my gymnastics and track teams for the past 4 years, and am interested in eventually becoming a leader on a future collegiate team, as well. I have chosen to pursue collegiate track because I feel as though my past gymnastics training has limited the amount of work I have been able to dedicate to track training, and I want to discover my full potential in the sport.
