Abi Wilson '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement. My name is Abi Wilson of the O'Neal School in Pinehurst, North Carolina. I run the 800m during the spring outdoor season. My goals are to run sub 2:10 for my senior year and to run collegiately. One thing I love about track and field is the environment. It is a whole different world and unity that comes from cheering on your teammates that are coming down the final stretch of a hard race. At the end of my first season, one of my teammates was injured during her hurdle race and was unable to compete in the 4x4. My coach unexpectedly told me I was going to be running the 4x4 as the 3rd leg. I believe what makes me a good candidate for your team is that I would step up in a heartbeat. I PR'd that race and achieved my season goal, from that moment on I knew I aspired to run collegiately. I step up as a leader in every situation and bring my all. Academically, I put in all my effort and I understand my struggles. I aspire to impact more than on the track but in my environment as well. I am interested in journalism and photography with a focus of marine biology.
