My name is Rachel Hardy, and I am a student and track athlete at Adrienne C. Nelson high school. Track isn’t just a hobby, but a commitment that endures great persistence and determination. In the years of my track experience, the challenges and the progress of excelling on my skills is what lights my drive for this sport the most. Before I began track I was training to become a D1 collegiate gymnast, which was my ultimate dream and goal. I could say gymnastics taught me all of my basic knowledge about intense training and athletics themself. Success is earned, and to earn that title, I am willing to work. Challenges will always be faced, but with a good attitude, a growth mindset, and the willing to learn, I am ready to take on those obstacles.
