My name is Isabella Irving-Bates, and I’m a senior at Phoenix Christian Preparatory competing in track since freshman year with my Coach Jay Leary. During off season I have trained with the Phoenix Bobcats - Coach Erwin Jones and Phoenix Youth Track and Field - Coach Jarrot Eaton.
Track and field has been a cornerstone of my athletic and personal growth, providing me with opportunities to strengthen my dedication and perseverance. As a sprinter I’ve learned to balance individual performance along with supporting and cheering on my teammates. My experiences have shown me the importance of setting ambitious goals, embracing hard work, and supporting my teammates both on and off the field.
I aspire to join a collegiate track team that values athletic excellence, strong bonds, and personal development. My goal is to continue improving my technique and results in high jump and javelin while contributing to a team culture that prioritizes unity and encouragement. I bring a unique combination of discipline, perseverance, and an eagerness to learn, both in athletics and academics.
