I started running Track during my freshmen year at PV. I immediately fell in love with it. Not only did I meet some of my closest friends through Track and Field, but through my experiences, I also developed more self-discipline through training during practices and on my own time outside of school.  classes.

 

My events were the 100 Meters, 200 Meters, and the long jump. My favorite memories are sitting by the long jump pits with my friends, just talking and training together, and eating nutritious snacks we brought to share. I remember continuing to practice relays with my teammates long after formal practices were over. So many times, I was having so much fun that I could not stop laughing. 

 

Some of my best high school experiences came from the track meets, where I traveled to different schools with all of my friends, and where we spent hours running, talking about everything and nothing, and closely watching the time and listening to announcements so we would be sure to cheer each other on towards victory.

​

I will miss these special times with great friends.
