Personal Statement
For 12 years I've been doing track and field mainly competing in the 100m, 200m and long jump as i was always tall for my age group with a passion for sprinting. In secondary school i continued with those events, medaling at 3rd place at bssac in the long jump. due to my sudden growth in height i started partaking in 400m but it was never my strong suit. After covid 19 and i had several injuries which slowed down my in-season development which took a huge toll on my self-confidence. I finished 2022-2023 Season with a 6.00 long jump and a 11.9 clocking in the 100m. In my 2nd year u20 i started hurdling and i quickly developed and progressed to be a promising young hurdler but sadly i experienced a fall during one of my training sessions which put a temprorary stop in my hurdling progression. Later down I've been dealing with a fresh back injury after the fall and a few small issues and i was able to finish the season with 2 personal best: 11.57 in the 100, and 23.30 in the 200. Presently, I'm quickly recovering and maintaining the strength and conditioning that i built through the summer. My collegiate goals are to become the best version of myself, breaking new barriers and hopefully to become a great representation of the school. if you were to ask my coaches and peers about the person i am they would describe me as serious, hard working, very observant, perfectionist and a bit of an overthinker. When it comes to bettering my overall performance in the classroom and at training, and lastly I'm very fun to be around and someone who bring positive, fun and joking energy at the right time and place. my long term goal is making it to the Division 1 and competing at the Olympics.
