I've run hurdles since middle school. In high school my 300m time came down every year: 49.12 as a freshman, 47.43 as a sophomore, 47.14 as a junior, and I usually run my fastest at the end of each season. This past year I made a deliberate choice to specialize in the 300m hurdles and step back from the 100m hurdles, both to manage a lower-leg tendonitis issue and to put my full focus on my strongest event. I'm certain there's more in me once I'm healthy and in a program built for development.
I've decided to make track my focus going into college. I'm drawn to schools where I can grow as a hurdler and study business, and where the team culture matches how I like to work: focused, supportive, and steady. I'm realistic about where my time places me today, and I'm excited to earn my way up.

I keep a simple ladder in mind for senior year. Small, specific targets, not a vague "get faster."
I carry a [GPA] GPA and plan to study business, and I've taken AP and dual-credit college classes to get a head start on my degree. I've played basketball since middle school and moved up to Varsity this past year, where my teammates and coaches gave me the Raider Award, given for embodying the spirit of the Rouse Raiders. I've earned academic honors in basketball three years running: Academic All-District in 2026, and Academic Excellence in 2024 and 2025.
On the track I've placed Top 6 at the District 25-5A meet in the 100H, 300H, 4x400 relay, and high jump, qualified on to the 2025 UIL 5A Area meet, and earned my team's Most Improved award. Carrying two sports and a college-level course load at once has taught me to manage my time and stay steady when things are full, and I try to be the kind of teammate who makes practice better for everyone. That's the part I most want a college coach to know about me.
