Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Lyon and i am an athlete that resides from New Zealand that has a goal of becoming high school national champion. I mainly compete in triple jump but also thrive in long jump, 100m, 200m and high jump. I found my talent for triple at just the start of 2024 where i broke my 50 year standing high school triple jump record out of the blue with no specific training (also off knee surgery). Since then, with the combination of playing in the high school first 11 soccer team, i have been training with my coach Mark Harris. I have aspirations of gaining a scholarship to USA as i believe i have what it takes to compete at the college level. I have been having a steady incline in results as the year has gone by, with PR after PR occurring. To continue the pattern in just a months time at the high school nationals, I have the goal of becoming New Zealand U19 Triple Jump Champion.
