Personal Statement
I am a Cross Country student athlete at John Marshall in Los Angeles, California. I have been running since my freshman year of high-school. Endurance sports have always been my passion. From a young age, I have road biked regularly and was part of a junior semi-pro cycling team in middle school. I joined Cross Country because I was talented in endurance sports and loved the idea of running competitively. Since I started running, I have trained hard, been improving, and have competed with quality runners. I became increasingly dedicated to running when I switched high schools between freshman and sophomore year and joined a serious team. I received the Coach's Award and Varsity Most Improved Award the first season with my new team, which shows my ability to improve and how coachable I am. I am committed to go to a college and be part of a program that can push me to become the best student-athlete I can be. In exchange I hope to deliver great results both athletically and academically.
