I have been enrolled with the athletics club Canaletes-Sant Martí (www.knlts.cat ) from 2006 to 2016. In September 2016 I changed to Barcelona Atletisme Club (www.bcnatletisme.cat ) because my main trainer signed up by this club.
Since I started practicing athletics, I have been selected by my former Club (Canaletes-Sant Martí) for the Regional Team Champioship (both indoor and outdoor). In the 2015-16 season I contributed to 800 m and 4x 400 relay. In the other previous seasons I contributed to 600 m or 1000 m, and different types of relays. In the season 2014-15 we were the 2nd indoor and we reached the top of the podium outdoor. At this Championship I was the 2nd in the 1000 m event with 3.06.21 and we won the 4x 300 m relay with 3.01.38.

In the 2014-15 season I participated with the Catalan Regional Selection in the Spanish Regional Championship. I was the 5th out of 18 with 1.39.25 in the 600 m event. I also was selected for the 4x 300 m relay.

Every year I start preparing the season training cross field (usually from November to February). I participate in 5 to 7 cross field events each season. Since I started athletics, I have reached the podium more than 15 times.

Interview

I am very well prepared to have aerobic as well as anaerobic endurance, but at the same time I am innate fast with a powerful sprint (all my marks in 400 m of the 2015-16 season were reached without any specific sprint event preparation). I can contribute to a college team at high level in mid distance running events as well as in the 4 x 400 m relay.

I want to study at a high level recognized college institution and at the same time have the opportunity to train and compete with the help of outstanding coaching, facilities and equipment. Altogether this will improve my success in the life after college.

I would like to have a strong and practical knowledge on sciences and maths in a College with very high reputation. I would love to contribute to College participating in Championships with a deep spirit of team. I hope to meet colleagues from other countries, other realities with passion for athletics. College has to contribute to make me a better person.

I would like to compete at top International Level being a reference for young athletes. I would like to contribute to a better world with the help of sport, promoting peace and human rights. I would like to combine during most part of my life my passion for athletics with the medical profession.

In June and July 2016 I took a course on athletics training in the Catalan Sports School. During this course I studied all different sporting athletics events: sprints, middle-distance, long-distance, hurdles, relays, jumps, throws and combined events. I am currently doing the practices of the course training a group of children under 10 years old (2 hours per week).

Since I was 6 years old I have been enrolled in the Movi Educational Camp where each Saturday evening we develop leisure activities ( https://www.facebook.com/EsplaiMoviPoblenou ). Also for Easter and in Summer we make excursions of several days to the country.
