Kendal Armstrong '13 Recruiting Profile

I am currently attending Harwood Union High School in Moretown, VT. Moretown is a small town located about 30 miles east of Burlington, VT and is a Division II school. I just completed my Junior year and we won our second consecutive girls outdoor state track championship. As an athlete I stand at a height of 5'6. I weigh 109 pounds and I am a pretty quick sprinter and hurdler. I've been running track since seventh grade. I have made a lot of progress especially since my move to Harwood Union H.S. where I am getting great help from the coaching staff. When I first started doing track, my 100m hurdle time was about 21 seconds and now it's down to a consistent low to mid 17's. In my sophomore year of 2011, my track team won the girls Division 2 State Championships where I personally posted two PR's at the state finals and placed top 5 in my 2 events while running against mostly upper classmen. I'm probably a little stronger in the 300m hurdles as I am a very strong finisher at longer distances. I can offer quite a bit to any team I am on. I am a very hard worker because when I show up to practices or meets I am ready to give it my all and nothing less. I have a ton of determination to go far with my dreams of running track. I live next door to my school's track so I spend a lot of my spare time running and working to improve my times. I m also known to be very positive and motivational towards my teammates. I am always boosting them up and helping them get ready to run. My goal for the 2102 track season is to try and finish 1st in both of my events at states. I also want to qualify for the New England Chapionships which I missed by only 2 places and less than 6/10 of a second in 2011.  I want to compete at as high a level as possible in order to really push myself to be better. I am always looking for ways to improve my running and am not afraid to be challenged.  I also want to be able to bring something new to a team and really make a difference.
