Sylvia Okafor '16 Recruiting Profile

2015 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Many people think Track and Field is an individual sport. When in reality its a team sport. Track is a big part of my life and I know how hard it is to win when your teammates aren't pulling their weight. This is why I encourage my teammates, on and off the track, to do their best in anything they do. At practice I push my teammates to work harder, to get stronger and to be faster. I plan on bringing my diligence as a student and athlete to your collegiate team. I strive to be the best in anything that I pursue and I like to see results.
When I get into college I would like to study Nursing in my first degree. Then I want to study to become a Pathologist in my second degree. I love pathology because its a career path that is usually not taken and although people don't realize it, its a big part of medicine. I want to become a Pathologist because they help people while staying behind the scenes.
