Athletics
Introduction
Here’s an overview of my athletic involvement, which includes participating in Varsity Golf, Varsity Cross Country, and Varsity Track & Field. I believe maintaining physical fitness is crucial, as a healthy body contributes to a healthy mind. It’s all part of being a well-rounded individual.
Cross Country and Track
I discovered my passion for running after not making the soccer team during my freshman year. A friend suggested I join the Cross-Country team in my sophomore year, and I was instantly hooked. I continued running through the Indoor Track & Field season that year and eventually ran year-round during my junior year. Currently, I am actively participating in Cross Country and plan to compete in both the Indoor and Outdoor Track seasons this senior year.
As a team, the Monroe-Woodbury Cross Country Team has achieved remarkable success, winning the Section IX Class A Boys Team Championships for multiple consecutive years, as well as securing victories in both the 2022 and 2023 New York State Federation Championships.
Golf
Throughout my childhood and early high school years, I enjoyed playing golf with my father. The pandemic limited my ability to participate in athletics during middle school, but I joined the Monroe-Woodbury Boys Varsity Golf team in my freshman year. Although I loved the sport, my focus eventually shifted to running. I made the tough decision to pursue Outdoor Track & Field during the spring season of my junior year instead of continuing with golf.
