Personal Statement
My name is Kaitlyn Jan and I am a 5’8’’, 128 lb junior enrolled at Frankfort High School. I have run track and cross country since my freshman year, and ever since I have aspired to compete at the collegiate level. As a sophomore I placed fourth in the West Virginia State Cross Country Meet, and as a junior I placed third (current PR is 18:51). I understand the importance of working hard in the classroom to be a successful student-athlete in college. Therefore, I take honors and AP classes such as English and History and consistently hold a GPA above 4.0. I participate in school clubs such as the Green Team and am involved in the community. For the past three years I have been a member of the varsity basketball team, so I do not run year-round. I believe this will also help improve my times in college because I will be able to train year-round. As a teammate, I strive to assert leadership, encouragement and determination. My ambition after high school is to go to a large school where I can work to eventually compete at the Division 1 level. I believe with ambition and determination I can accomplish this goal, because I have already used this combination to achieve others. As a sophomore, I worked to successfully achieve my goal of becoming the State Champion in the 800 meter run. I am a motivated enough individual to do whatever it takes to compete at the highest level possible. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile!
