I am a 5'5" sprinter from Osceola, WI and will graduate in the 2014 class.  This past high school season, I finished as a State Champion in the 200m Dash and runner-up in the 100m dash and 400m Relay in Division 2.  I helped our team score 26 points at State to finish 3rd overall in Division 2, which was the highest in school history.   I am a member of the WIAA All-State Team in 3 events, which in Wisconsin, goes to athletes who run a top 6 time in the State Finals in all divisions.  I qualified for the USA Youth Outdoor Nationals and placed 16th and 18th overall in the 100m and 200m.   My sophomore season,  I was also a member of the WIAA All-State Team in the 100m dash and 400m Relay.  I was a State Runner- up in the 100m and 200m, as well as the anchor leg runner of the State Championship 400m Relay team which also set a State Record in Division 2.  My freshman season I placed 7th in the 200m and 2nd in the 800m Relay.  My current PR's and school records at OHS: 55m - 7.38, 100m - 12.33, 200m - 25.35, 400m and 800m relay anchor leg runner.  In 2011, I also qualified for the USATF National Junior Olympics, placing in the top 22 in the 200m.  I love track.  I also love to race and compete, especially at the big meets. My goal is to run track in college at a high level while making an impact immediately. I am currently looking at colleges with high standards in both athletics and academics and leaning towards a degree in Heath Science. I am open to schools other than in the midwest but want a great "college town" atmosphere.  Thank you for looking at my profile.
