Dear Coach,
My name is Elijah Panganga, and I am passionate about competing at the collegiate level in track and field. My goal is to continue improving my performance and contribute to the success of your team. I believe I would be a great addition because of my dedication, work ethic, and strong results in athletics and academics.
Athletically, I’ve achieved top awards in the 100m, 200m, and 400m events, including a personal best of 9.8 seconds in the 100m. I’ve also competed in high jump and relays, making me a versatile and determined athlete. These accomplishments show my commitment to training and my ability to perform under pressure.
Academically, I graduated from Excella School in Rwanda with a GPA of 3.5 and an SAT score of 850. Balancing academics and athletics has taught me time management and focus, qualities that will help me succeed at the collegiate level.
What sets me apart is my character. Growing up, my parents taught me the value of hard work and humility. My mom, Louise Mbakumo, is an accountant, and my dad, Michel Panganga, is a manager. Their guidance has helped me become disciplined, respectful, and team-oriented.
I’m excited about the opportunity to represent your team and bring my best to every competition. Thank you for considering me as a recruit.
