Dear Trinity Track & Field and Cross Country Family,
As my time as a student-athlete comes to an end, I can whole-heartedly say being a part of the Trinity College Track & Field and Cross Country Team has been my greatest blessing. My journey through this program was different than most, but I would not change it for the world. I have become both mentally and physically stronger, learned the importance of discipline and consistency, and developed a mindset to constantly pursue excellence in everything I do, lessons that will reach far beyond my time at Trinity College.
I am writing this letter after returning from our immensely valuable training trip in Florida, where we practiced at the National Training Center alongside many of the best track athletes in the world. The professionals shared the same advice that the program has engrained within each of its athletes: dedicate time to do the little things and build a strong foundation. I have made the most incredible memories and had the greatest experiences while on this team, which has only been possible because of your endless support. I am truly honored to be a part of this community and am deeply motivated to give back to the program that has shaped me into the person I am today. My love and support for the Trinity Track & Field and Cross Country program will only continue to grow from here.
With the indoor season beginning, I am reminding myself to be fully present, to cherish this incredible opportunity, and to embrace the precious moments because it has all gone by too fast. I am thankful for each day I get to spend surrounded by the people I love, doing the sport I have come to love – thanks to this program. Supporting one another through the highs and lows of life, playing games on the bus, or cheering on the 4x400m relays, this program has brought me my closest friends and a family I know I will have forever.
Being a student-athlete at Trinity College has filled me with gratitude. My coaches, trainers, teammates, professors, and classmates have each played a role in pushing me to be my best on and off the track. I am filled with pride wearing my Trinity gear, representing a community far beyond athletics.
Eight seasons, hundreds of days, and countless hours spent together, and it would never be enough time with this team. Our accomplishments are a direct result of the experiences that you have so generously provided us with. Thank you for believing in us and allowing us to do what we love, in our favorite place. We could not do it without you!
