- 2018 Highlights
Personal Statement
My name is Tyra King and I've been running track for most of my high school career and continuing to run to finish off my senior year. Overcoming many hard obstacles during my high school career, I started running track in order to keep me invested in school. I started running track in ninth grade and instantly fell in love with the sport as I progressed academically and as an athlete. My team started with only six athletes and the next year the number of athletes doubled and because I showed an excellent amount of determination, independence, and authority I was made the captain of the track team.
Knowing that I'm good at what I do, I also know that there is a lot of room for me to improve and by running in college I can do that due to different training and a different environment. I get to compete on a different level and better my craft.
