Jesse Wells ~ Com...Personal Statement
I started running track just under 2 years ago and really want to continue this dream of mine. I've suffered a major injury during this time only for me to overcome and still have my best track season yet. I'm always working to put my body in the best position to succeed even training 3 times a day and waking up at 4 am in the morning to go run. I've always had a lot of raw talent and the drive to refine that is definitely there. I've always been disciplined and on Evaluations, for multiple sports, there's always been one common theme, Coachable! I have plenty of goals for this year including breaking the 1:56 barrier and the 49.41 school record in the 400m. I plan to be the hardest one training every day and to work harder than everyone else on my team! - This was written before the coronavirus took hold of the country. Every day I am still training hard to break these barriers to keep my dreams alive of going to a university and running there as well.
