My love for running started at a young age but I didn’t start competing until middle school. Ive made the transition from the 1600m to the 400m but the 800m has always been my favorite! Running is more than a sport to me, it’s a passion and a way for me to express myself! I place emphasis on my athletic performance and my academic performance, both are equally important. I hope to get an opportunity to compete in college because I believe it will help further develop my character, help with my future plans of being a physical therapist and give me a once in a lifetime experience.
