Personal Statement

I would like to take my running to the collegiate level.  I believe in hard work.  I think excellence happens where grit, training, and determination meet coaching, talent, and discipline.  I love training for both track and cross-country seasons.  I run up to 70 miles a week in the summer before going to my full-time job in construction, then help on my family farm on nights and weekends.  I apply the same hard-working attitude to all that I do including my academics.  I am looking for a college that will help me excel in a STEM degree. I am looking for a running program where the athletes feel like family, and everyone is eager to learn as much as possible from the coaches.  I am able to adapt to different coaching styles, having had several in the past, including my private coach that I currently work with.  He helped me reach as a freshman- 1 state title, and 3 as a sophomore.  I am looking to add to this year as a junior.  I know I have a lot to offer a collegiate program.  I love to run and the longer the distance the more I love it.
