Ever since I was young I was always into sports. There has always been a natural talent of speed. Recently, throughout my years in high school I have learned to fine tune my body to deliver maximum results. I"m passionate, border line addicted to the sport of Track. Multiple sessions with personal trainers and countless hours in the GYM. This has become my passion, for one goal and that is to become the best.
