Running has always been an important part of my life, and after my season ending injury during my senior year of cross country, I realized just how much it truly meant to me. Not being able to hit my goal times, I became determined to continue my passion in college and finally achieve my full potential. I want to spend my time in college not only focused on my academics, but also set on putting in 100% effort to improve myself as a runner. As team captain, I bring great community and support to a team, ensuring that everyone can feel encouraged and truly like a part of a team. I would be honored to run with a collegiate team where I can show my capability and willingness to improve. Teammates and coaches are also very important to me, coming from a close knit team at my high school, I would love the opportunity to be apart of a team where we all can support and push each other to the best of our ability.
