My name is Juan Pablo Osorio and the reason why I am writing this letter is to explain my interest in being part of your team. I am disciplined, rest, and have good nutrition to always get better results.

Among the competitions in which I have been highlights old, high-performance athlete who was born and currently lives in La Ceja, Colombia (7200ft above sea level). I am nearing the end of my high school studies in 2021 with academic and athletic honors and now I am looking for an opportunity to study and compete in the United States.

My training process began in 2014, I started running for fun combining it with swimming, I did several competitions where I did well especially at speed tests. I continued training with more dedication getting to win competitions at the state level and representing Antioquia in national championships reaching on multiple occasions to the top 5 positions. In addition, I did good times in the modalities of middle-distance, having a really quick improvement in my performance. Now, I do very well in track races, but I have always been versatile and have won several competitions in obstacles, and street races, I try everyday to train harder and smarter and be disciplined, rest, and have good nutrition to always get better results.
