Personal Statement
My name is Olivia Tolbert and I have participated in track and field since I was in 7th grade. I became passionate about the sport after I discovered high jump and became a middle school regional champion in that event. In high school, I was introduced to long and triple jump and triple jump quickly became my favorite event. I ranked third at states in triple jump, and long jump allowed me to participate in events such as the Millrose Games. I am grateful for such opportunities, for they push me to constantly learn and improve. I enjoy learning from others because I feel there is always something a coach can teach me. I hope to jump in college and learn even more.
