My Journey:
Greetings! I am Justus Hundley, a 17-year-old student athlete with aspirations that extend far beyond my current standing. My journey thus far has been marked by adversity and determination, leading me to envision a future where I can make a substantial contribution to your collegiate team.
Overcoming Early Challenges
During my initial two years of high school, I faced the formidable challenge of iron and ferritin deficiencies. These conditions rendered me the slowest member of my track team. However, instead of succumbing to this setback, I chose to confront it head-on. I embarked on a journey of self-improvement, acquiring knowledge about running, health, and wellness along the way. This period of adversity taught me resilience and instilled in me a relentless work ethic.
Academic Excellence
In addition to my athletic pursuits, I maintain a 4.35 GPA. I am an active member of the Honors Society and have immersed myself in Advanced Placement classes and college courses. My dedication to academic achievement aligns with my pursuit of a degree in business economics.
My Athletic Accomplishments
As a middle-distance runner, my performance has steadily improved, and I would like to share my race records with you:
2023 T&F 1600 meters: 4:28
2023 T&F 3200 meters: 9:27
2023 Cross Country 3-Mile: 14:39
My Aspirations and What I Offer
My ultimate goal is to compete at the Division I level while pursuing a degree in business economics. I am fully committed to the relentless pursuit of excellence in both realms. What sets me apart is not only my determination but also my character. I am deeply dedicated to the success of the team, and I believe in fostering a culture of support and encouragement.
A Commitment to Growth
My journey has taught me the value of humility and the importance of continuous improvement. I do not see myself as a finished product, but rather as a student of the sport and life itself. I am eager to learn from experienced coaches and teammates and to contribute to the collective success of the team.
In conclusion, my name is Justus Hundley, and my journey has been one of transformation and growth. I bring not only my athletic achievements and academic excellence but also a strong character and a desire to make a positive impact. I am ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come my way as a member of your team and to work diligently towards our shared goals.
Thank you for considering me as a potential addition to your program.
Sincerely,
Justus
