2022 Highlights Personal Statement
Thanks for considering me as an athlete for your school. My academic and athletic achievements are the result of hard work and discipline. Nothing has been given to me and I do not commit lightly or take for granted the opportunities placed in front of me.
I didn’t find cross country until my sophomore year when I was recruited by the coach because I was a known triathlete. However, I believe my history as an elite athlete in other sports (2-time state champion in triathlon and 7-time national champion in Taekwondo and 3rd degree blackbelt) has given me a good base to work with in running.
Last year, I only participated in cross country meets for my school while training for the rowing team. I finished second in the conference and helped my team win the conference championship. This year, I will be a full-time participant on the cross-country team and I really love competing with my friends.
I apply the same discipline to academics that I do to athletics. I would like to get into medical school and I hope athletics can help me do so. Thanks again for looking at my profile.
