My name is Ian Hodge. I’ve been competing in track and field since the age of 9. Competing at such a young age taught me perseverance and dedication. It takes a lot of hard work to become better. As a result, I was the Junior Olympics champion in the high jump at the age of 13. This same work ethic transfers into my academics. I am a student-athlete. I know the importance of maintaining my grades and aiming for excellence. My goal in life for the track, college, and post-graduation is to always keep a positive attitude, work hard, and be the BEST at whatever I do.
