About Me

Help fund trip to the 2017 AAU Junior Olympics in Ypsilanti, MI and the 2017 USATF Junior Olypics in Lawrence, Kansas. Hello my name is Jaliyah Reese I am 10 years old. I am very excited to have qualified and earned the opportunity to participate in not one but two Junior Olympic (JO) Programs this year. The first JO program is the USA Track & Field Junior Olympics in Lawrence Kansas to compete in the High Jump. The second JO program is the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Olympics in Ypsilanti, MI. to compete in the High Jump, 100 and the 200 Meter races. I am going to attend both Junior Olympic Games to compete but unfortunately even I realize the cost of travel alone for both trips would be a lot for my parents to endure at one time. With the help of gracious Sponsors I would be very happy knowing my Parents would be getting some much needed help. I am a first year runner and field event specialist for the 10 East Track club. A new extension of the 10 East club was formed this year in the High Desert that allowed several children the opportunity to participate in Track and Field for the first time. Luckily I was one of those kids. I got to become a 10 East club member and I was thrilled. I quickly became a sprinter. My races are the 100, 200 and 4x100 Meter Runs. I can also do the long Jump but my passion has quickly become the high Jump. After preseason I was very lucky to make the all Star team and with more meets to attend I decided to try the high Jump. This event has turned out to be my favorite. It might be because I have won all my meets so far and I have earned the Titles of USATF SoCal JO 10 year old High Jump Champ, USATF Region 15 JO 10 year old High Jump Champ, AAU Region 23 JO 10 year old High Jump Champ, And the AAU West Cost JO National Champion but there is also no better feeling to me than making it over the bar without it falling down. Sometime I just feel like I can fly. I love to jump. I ended my season record with 6 wins and 0 losses. I recently got a personal record jump of 4’ 3.25 inches and also a Meet record at the AAU West Cost National Championship Meet record with a Jump of 4'3". I am very eager to try and improve that jump in the Jo competitions. I have also won a few of my 100 and 200 Meter races which has motivated me to train even harder. I am the AAU Region 23 Champion in the 100 Meter race. I enjoy the feeling of running past all my opponents to the finish line. It is very fun to collect medals as my reward. I love to train and I work very hard at practice so I can try to be the best I can be. My current goal is to continue to train, attend some camps and clinics for my events and to one day run and Jump for the UCLA Bruins… I am in seek of any contributions, donations, or sponsors to help my parents send me to the both JO games in KS and MI. Your kind and considerate gifts will be greatly appreciated.
