I've run hurdles since my freshman year. My 300m time has come 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 chose to focus on the 300m hurdles and temporarily put the 100m hurdles on hold, mostly to manage a lower-leg tendonitis issue and give my best event my full attention. It was a short-term decision, not a goodbye: I'm preparing through the summer and fall to bring the 100m hurdles back for my senior season. 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 open to the right opportunity wherever it fits best, and I'm excited to keep earning every step forward.

I keep a simple ladder in mind for senior year. Small, specific targets, not a vague "get faster."
I carry a 3.36 unweighted / 4.08 weighted GPA and plan to study business, an interest I've already started exploring through classes like Entrepreneurship and Money Matters. I'm on my district's Distinguished with Honors graduation plan (the most rigorous track), I've been flagged College Ready under the Texas CCMR standard, and I've taken AP and dual-credit college classes to get a head start on my degree. I'm also bilingual in English and Spanish (AP Spanish and three years of Spanish completed by 8th grade). I've played basketball since middle school and started track in high school. I reached Varsity in track first (2024-25) and then in basketball (2025-26), 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.
