Personal Statement

     "Who's Ben?" was the question the head varsity coach asked after looking at the times from the first time trials freshmen year.  "Oh," the assistant coach responded, "He's that tall freshmen."  But I showed them that I was much more than a lengthy underclassmen.  I went from running a 55.6 400 at the first meet, to shaving my time down to a 51.2 by the time State rolled around.  I like the 400 because it's a gritty race that most people don't like to do, as it is considered one of the hardest races in the sport.  It gives me a chance to show that I can excel in doing the work, and grinding the time down, even through the pain.  I like to challenge myself to become better and better every day athletically--and more importantly-- academically.  As I look to the future for colleges, I simply want to be the best both inside, and outside of the classroom.
