Track & Field

I owe track & field recognition for making me the athlete that I am. Running, jumping, and lifting every day made me faster and stronger. This carried over to the volleyball court, allowing me to jump higher and transition faster. Below is a timeline of my achievements in my main event, high jump, during my seasons of track & field for Century High School.

Personal References

For the past four years, my track & field jump coach has been Coach Dave Neral. He has shown me an incredible amount of support and encouragement at every meet. Since I am one of only four high jumpers on the team, Coach Neral has gotten to know me very well. Attached is his letter of recommendation. 

Century High School's track & field hurdle coach, Coach Stephanie Dickerson, has been one of my biggest supporters. She cheers me on at every meet and gives me great advice. I have recently been working with her as I will start running hurdles for the track team this winter and spring. Coach Dickerson has watched me push myself to succeed the past four years and she can attest to my work ethic. Attached is her letter of recommendation.
