I started distance running during the beginning of my sophmore year, and I have loved it ever since. This year I broke our school's 17 year- long 800 record in 2:18.31. In college, I plan to work hard on athletics and academics. I want to be a part of a team that supports one another and values one another. As a junior I was the varsity cross country captain, and we got 3rd in state. I have a 4.0 GPA and am ranked 7th in my class. I am hard working, determined, and excited for the opportunity to run in college!
