When I first started running in eighth grade, I knew that this was the sport I wanted to pursue. I love running because it makes me feel free and strong, and I aspire to always improve and better myself and help my teammates reach their goals as well. Along with cross country, I also pursue distance track and field in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. I would make a great collegiate athlete because I am motivated to succeed and love to motivate others to go new heights and accomplish their goals. I can't wait to see where the rest of these years take me and where I will continue to grow and improve.
