A year 13 Sacred Heart Girls’ College student has been offered numerous track and field scholarship offers from public and private Division 1, 2, and 3 universities in the USA, ranging in value up to $300,000. Seventeen-year-old Krystie Soloman is a track runner and has won national club champs in the under 18 age group two years in a row, and placed third in the under 20s group this year.
Krystie says she is excited about this opportunity and is looking forward to finalising the placing at the university of her choice. In the future I am most looking forward to improving myself and my personal best times and becoming as fast as I can be and to become the best athlete and runner I can be. The university scholarship includes travel, sports gear, tutoring, food, accommodation, running entries and school fees. Krystie will leave for the US in August next year.
