Personal Statement
I started late in running but once i had started I knew I loved it and continuously progressed through my past two years and dropped 5 minutes off of my very first 5k time to my most recent PR of 15:57. I work hard and i truly enjoy running and my two favorite sports in the world are cross country and track. I should mention I was all conference cross country, 1st in conference 2 mile track, and 4th conference in mile. Now I am a college athlete at Iowa central community college looking for a 4 year transfer option. I ran 26:45 in Xc 8k and 1:17.05 in half marathon. I also have track prs of 15:57 5k outdoor and 9:12 indoor 3k. My main event will be steeple this year first time was 10:12 and hope to do much better next time.
