Personal Statement
Hi! I am Demi Marcks. I have been involved in running long-distance track and cross country since the beginning of my high school career, however, I only recently discovered the beauty of short-distance track during the 2022 outdoor season (my sophomore year). During this short amount of time, I ran the 400m and went on to qualify for RIIL State Championships at Brown University. As I head into my Junior year of track, I am excited to watch my PRs go down and discover so much more hidden potential within myself. To me, the track is a place where I can not only better myself, but also the people around me; I have met so many amazing people and made everlasting friendships through this sport, and can't wait to continue this in college! I also run cross-country where we won the Class B Championships, JV States, and States, and qualified for New Englands. Growing up being the oldest of four kids, I have always been heavily associated with not only leadership and the ability to take on responsibilities, but also humbleness and reliability. Although I am still unsure what I want to major in, I have always been interested in technology and medicine, so I am looking for a school not only with a strong athletic department but also a strong academic department. Feel free to reach out to me. Thank you!
What Sets Me Apart
1. Leadership: My peers recognize me as a teammate who brings everyone together and promotes a positive environment, both on and off of the track.
2. Enthusiastic: I want to grow and learn as much as I can to better myself in the running field. This can be noted through my eagerness to try all aspects of running from cross country, to distance track, and to sprints.
3. Academically competitive: East Greenwich High School is ranked #411 overall amongst national public high schools, #150 in STEM amongst national public high schools, and #3 in the State of Rhode Island in the 2022 U.S. News and World Reports ranking.
