My Home

If someone were to ask me “where’s your favorite place to go” I would tell them the track, on a warm night in the summer when nobody is around. Now you’re probably wondering why the track.

When I was 8 my mom brought me on a run with her after gymnastics practice and I thought it was “good fun” so I kept going. When my family moved states I was given the decision to just to gymnastics or run cross country as well. So of course I decided to run too. I ended up being really good (somehow) and joined the track team a year later.

Soon we moved to the bright sunny state of South Carolina where after trying out for the gymnastics team didn’t go well I decided to focus on running. Cross country was my main sport for a while but then track came along again and I was so happy. A few years down the road I tried hurdles again after a long time and my passion grew. A year later I became the first individual state champion in 400h and the rest is history. I am going to run D1 in less than a month at a school I never thought I was capable of, but with hard work and a huge passion and many difficulties this is my happy place

So that’s why the track is my favorite place, my second home, the place I go when everything is falling apart, the place I have the best prayers, and the place I shine.

I love the track and it will forever be my second home no matter where I go.
