The Athlete

Discipline on the track. Purpose beyond it.

As a 100-meter and 200-meter athlete committed to the University of Tennessee Southern, Elijah understands preparation, pressure, competition, disappointment, perseverance, and the temptation to find identity in performance.

Track and field is not separate from his faith. It is one of the places where God is shaping his character, expanding his influence, and teaching him to live with purpose.
