“While I consider myself an “academic weapon” with straight As throughout high school in the most rigorous courses available, I am also a competitive athlete, seeking a college where I can succeed both on and off the track. After just completing my first full year of track and field, I’m proud to have broken two school records and attended both indoor and outdoor New Balance Nationals. I AM a scholar-athlete.”
