Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Colette Patti. I have been running track since 7th grade. I train year round to improve my sprinting abilities, and have been able to make improvements in my times each year. My 100m PR as a sophomore was a 13.00, and as a junior, I most recently PR'd at a 12.48 in the D2 Regionals. I'm confident that my year round training of Olympic lifting/CrossFit, paired with indoor and outdoor track seasons will allow me to continue to improve my sprint times for a number of years to come.
Academically, I am participating in the "Clinical Care" program through C-TEC, the joint vocational high school in Licking County. The "Clinical Care" program is essentially a pre-nursing program that includes college prep classes. My aspirations are to compete in track and field while earning a Nursing degree (BSN) at a four year university.
I like to compete hard year round whether it be Olympic lifting or on the track, and I am coachable, dependable, goal oriented, and team oriented. I'm looking for a school with a reputable nursing program and a competitive track program in which my aforementioned qualities will allow me to contribute to team success.
Thank you for considering my profile as a potential match with your program.
