Throughout my collegiate career I have earned 11 NCAA All-American honors. However my college career has left me feeling as though there is unfinished business. During my junior year I was ready to achieve success in the 200m at the NCAA national track meet. I ran the preliminaries and semifinals with the fastest time going into the finals.  Then before the finals I became very ill and was hospitalized. I was released from the hospital and participated in the race but I was still quite weak. I had defeated the first and second place finishers at the regional track meet two weeks prior. 

As a senior my season was quite successful until the NCAA national track meet I became quite ill again. I feel that I would have placed in top three at both meets but my illness, prevented me from performing. At the USC Championships I ran the 200m, but a strain in my hamstring left me feeling quite disappointed.

Track athletes are known to be resilient, I am quite proud to be a track athlete and I know track has made me very driven. I am extremely driven to continue a career in track and field. My dream is to become an Olympian. I began my track career in the second grade running for Carol City Park in Miami, FL. Throughout middle and high schools I played basketball and ran track, every year I could not wait for basketball season to end, because I was so eager to begin track season. 

During high school I ran the 100m, 200m and 400m and I was a National champion in the 4x400m relay at the Adidas Invitational.

As a freshman in college I ran (51.65) in the 400m. I won the 400m (52.17) and 200m (23.17) in the Big East Championships. As a junior I was Acc champion in the 400m (52.08) and 200m (23.06), I won the East Regional 2005 in the 200m (22.74) and was ranked #2 in the Nation. My senior year 2006, I went on the retain my ACC championships in the 400m (51.94) and 200m (23.14), and was a member of the record breaking 4x400m relay team at this past season's Texas and Penn Relays
