My collegiate goals are to improve myself both academically and physically to the extent of my abilities while maintaining a realistic view of my own performances. I am seeking a college athletic experience that will allow me to develop and contribute my skills to a team while not overwhelming my academic pursuits. I am driven to improve not only myself, but also my teammates and have worked to assist in coaching field event athletes during my time on my current team. I possess a strong presence of mind regarding my own technique but also my teammates and I continually work to build up those around me. These traits translate off the track as well with my exceptional academics and a pursuit of knowledge which continually drive me forward. My choice of events assists in understanding what kind of athlete I am, highly technical, focused, and always seeking to aim higher or further.
