Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Emily Slatoff. I am a fellow runner at Foothill High school in Henderson, Nevada. My interest in cross country and track started in 2013, my seventh grade year, when one of my friends recommended cross country to me. I had been a soccer player since I was four years old and was usually one of the fastest on my team. After running in my first cross country meet, I was hooked. With the encouragement of my coach, and my desire to be the best, I started on my path to become the fastest on my team. My goals include running cross country and track in college, while achieving my academic goal of becoming a marine biologist. I also dream of making it on to the Olympic team in 2020 or 2024. I will be joining a club team this season to help me grow my competitive edge, decrease my times and improve my form. I bring hard work and enthusiasm to my team as well as consistency. Once I set my mind to something, I do not resign until I achieve my goal. I hope you will take the time to review my profile and contact me to let me know about your program.
