3/31/2022 – NEISD...
3/17/2021 – JV @ ...Personal Statement
I started playing soccer in kindergarten and joined a club team at 11. I was primarily a midfielder. At 13 (Nov of 8th grade), I tore my ACL. Through the rehab I got introduced to running, but I still had my heart set on playing soccer. 16 months post-op (Mar of 9th grade), I tore the same ACL. Luckily, I had surgery right before they shut down elective surgeries because of COVID and I didn't have any delay in my journey back to 100%. Again, my rehab had me running, but I was enjoying it more this time. As I entered my Sophomore year of HS, I decided to run track in addition to playing HS and club soccer. After a successful track season, I made the tough decision to walk away from soccer and focus on running. I joined cross country for Junior year to help build my endurance. Unfortunately, I stepped on a stingray in July and had to have surgery to remove the barb from my foot. Losing those weeks of training put me behind where I hoped to be, but I still enjoyed my first xc season. Junior track season was successful with new PRs in the 1600m and 3200m. I was not able to run the 800m due to our team depth. With a full summer of training I averaged 45-50 miles per week and continue to keep up that average. I felt much stronger throughout the xc season and was able to PR at all the courses. I'm excited to get on the track for the spring season and hopefully see continued success.
I want to study Biology or get into a Pre-Med program on a path to becoming an orthopedic surgeon. This will be a challenging path, but I have always been driven academically and know I have the focus to be successful.
When I started running, I wasn't sure how I'd do. Now, however, I am more passionate about running than I ever was about soccer. I am eager to continue this journey in college with a coach and team that can push me to meet new PRs and continued enjoyment of running and competing.

- 3.3 mi @ 22:25.00 (I felt well prepared for a good race, but I sprained my foot in the first 100m. I was in a lot of pain, but I'm glad I pushed through to complete my last HS XC race and help my team with the max points I could get. We were hoping for 8th or better - finished 12th.) UPDATE: I had an orthopedic doctor check out my foot. Thankfully nothing serious, just a low grade sprain that's already feeling better.
- Camp/Event

- 10/11/22 to 10/11/22
- 5k @ 20:40.0 (On to Regionals! Team finished 2nd, 12th place for me and I bested my PR for this course by .58, lol. I do not like this course, so many rocks and uneven terrain - I'm so happy I don't have to run here again!)

- 9/24/22 to 9/24/22
- 3 miles @ 20:13.5 (1:20 PR from last year at this meet. First mile was 5:50 - faster than I wanted to go out, but the whole field went out fast. 2nd half of the course was very hilly. Happy with how I raced.)

- 5k @ 20:40 (1 min PR for this course. Finished 9th and the team finish 2nd! I'm pleased with my race strategy to go out slower which allowed me to remain competitive from start to finish. Unfortunately, I think sinus congestion limited my performance. Hopefully it's just a minor cold.)
- Camp/Event
- FEAST Patriot 20th Annual HS XC Invitational
- 9/03/22 to 9/03/22
- 5k @ 19:57.84 (After getting boxed out last week at the start, I went out hard to avoid that happening again. Checking my Strava stats post race, I went through the first 400m at 1:15 - 5 min pace! I did hit the first mile at 6 min like I planned, but pushing so hard at the start was the wrong approach. I faded each mile after. I'm happy with a PR, but learned a valuable lesson for future races. Still learning.)
