Personal Statement
My name is Cassie Lagan and I’m interested in applying for a cross country/track and field scholarship. Currently, I am 17 years old, I live in Omagh, Northern Ireland and I am in my 2nd last year of high school. I would be keen to participate in Track and Field/Cross Country and I believe that I could really work hard to achieve my goals and make myself, as well as my coach, proud if I were to get an athletics scholarship. So far, this year I have represented Northern Ireland as an U19 female at International level in the British and Irish mountain running championships and have also represented Northern Ireland in the British Inter Counties Fell Running Championships. In terms of cross country, I have placed in the top 3 in Northern Ireland for U19 female cross country and then placed in the top 12 at the All Ireland National Cross Country Championships. My personal records are: 19:17 (5k), 11:14.27 (3000m), 5:11.50 (1500m), 2:36.69 (800m), 6:24.6 (1500m steeplechase), 8:33.31 (2000m steeplechase). In 2017, I represented Ireland at International level at the International U18 Youth Cup And also represented Ireland at the British and Irish mountain running championships. I would love to be a part of a track and field/cross country team at college in the future.
