Hi, I am currently a Senior at Eastlake High School in Chula Vista, California and I am interested in attending college/university and participating in Track & Field. I have a PR in the Discus with a throw of 123' 4.00 and 33' 5.00 in Shot-put. Last year as a Junior in 2012, I took 1st place in Discus and 2nd place at the 2012 Mesa League Track & Field Final and subsequently automatically advanced to San Diego CIF Track & Field Qualifier & Finals and placed 6th overall in San Diego CIF Track & Field D1 Girls Discus. Since October 2012, I am working with a personal throw trainer, current U.S. Olympian Jarred Rome in Discus/Shot-put. Jarred has developed a specialized program to improve my overall strength, endurance and technique. I am a hard worker who is dedicated to helping my team succeed by learning all I can from my coaches. At this time I am open to all colleges that can provide an opportunity to participate in track while I earn my college degree. I am excited about throwing in the future and look forward to getting the best education I can while continuing with track and field. Additionaly I am a two-sport athlete who has been involved with Track & Field and Volleyball at the Varsity level since Freshman year. I have listed my 2012 Track & Field Highlights which can be validated on Athletic.Net Track & Field website. I have listed my 2012 Track & Field Highlights from her Junior year at Eastlake High School: -All San Diego Varsity Girls Discus Ranked 10 of 498 -CIF San Diego Section Discus Finals (D1 6th Place Medalist) -CIF San Diego Section Discus & Shot-put Prelim Qualifier (D1 7th Place Overall) -Mesa League "Field" Athlete of the Year -Mesa League Discus Overall Champion -Mesa League Shot-Put Runner Up Champion -San Diego Union Tribune All Academic Team -Eastlake H.S. Most improved Track Athlete Award -Eastlake H.S. Overall Best Thrower Award -Eastlake H.S. Ranked #1 in both Discus & Shot-put Key verifiable facts: **Improved over 30ft in distance in Discus from Sophomore to end of Junior year (2011-2012) **Improved over 6ft in distance in Shot-Put from Sophomore to end of Junior year (2011-2012) In closing, my High School Track coaches along with coaches from the Chula Vista Olympic Training Facility believe with continued improved throwing technique, strength training, have projected Ashley to reach 135'- 145' in Discus and 38-42' in Shot-Put in the upcoming 2013 Senior year in Track & Field season. Thank you for your consideration. Very Respectfully, Ashley Ross
