Personal Statement
I’m a state champion from Medina, Ohio and I will graduate with honors in 2013. I'm a 3 year varsity runner and I was part of a state qualifying 4x800 team my freshman, sophomore, and now junior season. We ran the fourth fastest time in state history at the state meet in 2012 and for the third consecutive year we set a school record. My cumulative GPA is currently 4.1 and I received the All Ohio All Academic Award the last 3 years and was accepted into National Honors Society.
I'm looking for a college that will allow me to continue to pursue my goal of remaining a student athlete in the midwest, eastern, or southern region. Personal attention in the classroom at a reputable institution would be ideal in allowing me to reach my full potential as a student. Preferably, my athletic environment would be one where I could immediately contribute to the team. I'm the type of athlete coaches love to have on their team because of my competitiveness, desire to get better, and work ethic. I'm someone who is driven at both academics and athletics, and I understand what it takes to excel.
