Track is a sport which requires endurance, resilience and strength, and Senior Rhianna Riley seems to have all of these traits and more. “I love track. Not only is it fun for me, it is also good for my health, and my grades seem to do better when the season is going on,” said Riley.

  Since her childhood, she has wanted to be able to be a good runner. “I’ve always been interested in track ever since I was a child. I started running and I haven’t really stopped since,” said Riley.

   Riley is an athlete who strives to be the best that she can. Whether it be through training in the gym or running on the track, she will do everything that she can to achieve her goals. Her motivation to be able to continuously work is the need to improve her athletic ability. “I work hard, because I know that I can be a lot better than I already am. My goal is to beat my best times before the end of my senior year,” said Riley.

   Though she wants to improve her skills on the track, she has decided that pursuing track as she goes into college isn’t a priority. “I love track so much, but I feel like working towards a career in physical therapy. I want to be able to run track in college if I have a chance, but if I can’t, I really will not worry about it,” said Riley.
