Naomi Pokela

2027 Track Athlete from Washington HS

 

My name is Naomi Pokela and I am a class of 2027 junior attending Washington High School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I primarily compete in the 200 and 400 along with numerous different relays. My sophomore year at the Metro conference meet I ran both of my PRs: 400 59.03 and 200 26.48. Also during my sophomore year, my teammates and I were able to win the Coed 4×4 at Dakota relays, that being the first time I had won at that high of a level. Having only a few years of track experience, I am hoping that I am able to excel even more this year and achieve many of my goals. My goals for this year include a 57.5 in the 400 and a 25.5 in the 200 and also to lead my 4×4 team to a state final. Academically I am currently enrolled in 3 AP classes and throughout my high school years I have been able to maintain a 3.9 GPA.  

Getting involved and being able to lead throughout high-school has been an amazing opportunity. Through my many extracurriculars including student council, club soccer, youth group, student mentoring, and link crew (freshman orientation leader) I have been able to learn what it’s like to be a true team player and how to lead to the best of my ability. Having constantly being told that I have a great work ethic, that I am very coachable, and that I elevate others play and help them strive for success, I would be a great addition to any team.  

In the end, I want to attend a college with a good team environment along with a coach who will help me strive to be the best I can be. Ultimately, I am open to any college and hope that I will be able to find my best match. I am eager to find out what the future holds! For more information, please email me at naomipokela2027@gmail.com.
