- 2024 Spotlight
Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Niamh Partridge from Victoria, Australia.
I would love the opportunity to race in college because while I have only been training with a coach for just over a year, running has become more than a passion, I have already begun to make drastic improvements to my times, and cannot wait to see how far I can go with my running career. I will be a great fit for a collegiate track and cross country team because not only am I a very dedicated person, who is passionate about running, but I work hard, lead by example, love being part of a team, and know I will achieve anything I put my mind to.
Along with my passion for running, I work extremely hard on my education. My commitment to my studies has led me to rank as one of the top students in all of my classes and enabled me to complete two subjects at an accelerated speed a full twelve months early, whilst maintaining my commitment to training and community work.
In my spare time, I love to give back to my local community by volunteering at the local surf lifesaving club, where I coach the next generation of competitive surf lifesavers and perform regular beach patrols. Coaching junior athletes has proven to be an amazing experience and one that has cemented my dream to work within the sports industry. I believe that being part of a top collegiate track and cross-country program will be the perfect way to achieve this dream.
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to view my profile and would love the opportunity to organize a video call with you to learn more about your program so I can find my perfect college fit. Thank you.
