Transitioning from a background in soccer, I discovered my true passion and talent for track during my freshman year. This unexpected journey has ignited a fire within me, driving me to pursue excellence in this sport. Track has become not just a physical endeavor but a mental and emotional challenge that I wholeheartedly embrace.

In my short time on the track, I've achieved personal records and learned the value of discipline, dedication, and determination.

I believe that the discipline and teamwork I've learned in sports can be applied to my academic and personal life. I am ready to bring my dedication, passion, and adaptability to a collegiate track and field team, and I'm excited to explore the opportunities and challenges that await me in this new chapter of my athletic journey.
