Personal Statement
Thank you for taking this time, to view my profile. My name is Reagan Gallagher and I am a sprinter and long jumper, at Pasadena Memorial High School, in Pasadena, Texas. I began running track, by joining the City of Pasadena Summer Track Program, at the age of 8. That's where I learned to love running and competing! At the age of 10, I went to The Hershey Track and Field North American Championship Meet, where I placed third, in the 200 m. At the age of 12, I went back and won the 200 m. I ran varsity track, as a freshman. Competing in the 200 m, the 4 x 200 m, the 4 x 400 m and for the first time ever, the long jump. As a freshman, I was the long jump district champion, runner up in the 200 m and I was a member of the champion 4 x 200 m team. I went on to take third place, in area, for the 200 m and qualified for region. I was voted MVP of the the varsity team. While being a member of the track team, I also played varsity softball. For softball, I was named District Rookie of the Year, First Team All District Outfielder and All Academic Team.
My sophomore year, I did not get to run, due to an injury. I have put in a lot of work and I am ready to come back, to compete again! Due to my injury, I have gained an interest in studying physical therapy, in college. I have a 4.1 GPA and know how important it is to keep up with school work, when juggling a busy athletic schedule.
I love to compete and am always willing to put in the work needed, to compete with the best. I am open to all colleges, that match what I'm needing academically, but I would also like to be on a highly competitive track team.
