Personal Statement
- My name is Kaylah Hill, and I am a dedicated and hardworking mid-distance runner from Brooklyn, NY. I have over 10 years of competitive experience in track; I started when I was 5 years old and joined my first track team at age 7.
- I am an athlete who knows Track & Field and knowing that I have the capability of running in college makes me more excited and passionate about the sport I love.
- What sets me apart from other potential recruits is my unique combination of athleticism, work ethic, self-determination, coachability, and my trusting in the process outlook. What I can offer to a team is the promise to always work harder and to never give up. I am the first on the field and the last to leave!
- In my spare time, I volunteer at the 77th Precinct Youth Leadership Council Program in Brooklyn, NY. I began volunteering at the program in February 2021. Although it has only been a short period of time, I really enjoy working with officers Temal and Colon. It is gratifying to give back to my community.
- When it comes to choosing a college, I am flexible and open-minded. The size and location are less of a priority to me than the financial support and the academic program. The major I would like to pursue is Bachelor of Science in Business. However, my major may change over the course of my high school career.
- My practical athletic goals are to continue playing the sport I love at a competitive level, to make a positive impact on the team and to be an inspiration to athletes after me. Knowing that I made a difference by doing my best would be an equally satisfying win for me, a win that benefits both on and off the field.
- Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
- Best,
- Kaylah Hill
