My name is Trysta Rucker and I am a dedicated, focused and goal orientated student athlete, I just finish my Sophmore year.  I qualified for the 2016 Arizona State Track Meet in both the 100 and 300 hurdles.  I made the finals of the 100 hurdles and was fighting for 3rd place when I clipped a hurdle and crashed,  I knocked myself out for a few seconds but did get up and finish the race.  I am looking to come back faster and stronger next year.
