Personal Statement

My ideal future includes crossing the finish line at a cross country running race for a division one school. I am excited for the academic challenge of college and for the opportunity to work with other highly motivated students. With a willingness to work towards my athletic goals, I can bring both a winning attitude and enthusiasm to any running program. I am looking for a great coaching staff that can help me develop my potential, with a positive, congenial approach. When I find the right school, I am looking forward to grueling days of training in the heat, rain, and even snow.

I feel so lucky that I grew up in Alaska with a family that loved to play in the great outdoors - skiing, hiking, camping, biking, you name it. My earliest running memories are of the family Tuesday night races, me as a toddler running through the woods holding my parents’ hands. On family hikes, I would ask if I could run up the ridge, just for the joy of it. Sports have been the highlight of both my high school and younger years. Whether running for a state championship team, or trying out new sports such as hockey and soccer, sports give me a break from the stress of school. 

The difficulty of running has taught me to push through the challenges that life brings. I set high goals for myself, working for excellence in the classroom as well as in sports. Sports and academics have made me a more competitive, positive person, always striving to better myself. I have always enjoyed creating a friendly spirit among my competitors at races while at the same time acknowledging the gravity of any sporting event.
