Claire Griffin - ...Personal Statement
I am Claire Griffin, currently a Junior at West Genesee High School in Camillus, New York. I began competing at the varsity level in cross country during 8th grade, earning my place after a successful 7th-grade modified season. Additionally, I have been participating in varsity-level indoor and outdoor track since 9th grade.
My commitment goes beyond the track and extends into the classroom, where I am a highly motivated student. Whether it's academics, track, or cross country, my goal is to excel in every endeavor. The prospect of running in college is thrilling to me, as it would provide an opportunity to pursue my passion and be part of a team. The camaraderie in cross country and track, where everyone supports and cheers each other on, is one of the things I love most about the sport.
