My name is Bryn, I'm a freshman at Pomona. This year I am excited to be able to get more into depth and learn more about Pomona!

I have been running cross country for 6 years. I've found distance running to be easier than sprinting so I enjoy cross cross country more than track. I am defiantly not the fastest runner on the team, but I am putting in hard work to improve. My pr 5k time is 23:08. My time isn't very fast but I work hard every day to improve. My goal is to run a sub 22 5k by senior year.

Within the past 3 years I have developed a love for the University of Oregon. The University of Oregon is a Division 1 school in Eugene, Oregon. Not only do they have the coolest school mascot (ducks) but they get the best uniforms and gear from Nike out of all the schools in the country. I love running and the CEO an founder of Nike ran cross country so it would be a dream for me to be able to run at Oregon. Oregon also has the best track & field stadium out of all the countries in the nation, which Nike also paid for. The Olympic trials are even held at Hayward Stadium, running in a stadium like that would be the dream!

For the winter sports season I was super excited to play basketball but unfortunately I had multiple overuse injuries and my doctor told me that I would not be able to play basketball. Luckily my doctor recommended swimming so I decided to join since my friend Jordain was trying to get me to join anyways. I have never done swimming before, as the only swimming I've ever done is swim lessons. The first week was really hard as I didn't know how to swim with the correct form and I felt like a was drowning, but I keep getting better. This week was the third week and I feel like I can swim correctly now, maybe not fast though.

Although I don't have any siblings I do have one person I call my brother. Collin and I grew up together and almost never spent a moment apart, whether it was by choice or being forced by our parents. Collin and I did everything together and pretty much lived together. Over the summers I would have to go spent most of the summer at my family friend's house since my mom had work and over the years Collin and I grew so close. In my eyes Collin is my true brother and I will do anything for him

For me music is a big part of my personality. As I have grown up, music has had a huge development on the person I am today. No matter what I'm doing, the music I'm listening to controls my mood and how well I'm doing whatever I'm doing. One artist that I listen to the most is tupac. People say that they don't really take me for a tupac person, but tupac overruns my playlist.

Recently I have started a podcast called Dear Bryn Podcast. I have made one episode and I am waiting to release it. Lately I have been extra busy and I haven't had a chance to do much but as my schedule loosens up I plan to record and edit episodes on the weekly.

For me school is what most of my life revolves around (like most everyone else in school). School is where I have made all of my friend and school is where I learn valuable life lessons and spend most of my life. Since I'm still in high school I have spend the majority of my life in school, and I'm glad that I'm now spending it in Pomona.
