Hi! I’m Julia Jackson. I’m from Scotch Plains NJ and I’m currently a Sophomore at Duke University ****competing in the sprinting events (60, 100, 200, 400 and relays). I didn’t start running track until my freshman year of high school. I played a variety of other sports, and I was always fast, but I really didn’t know what I was getting into. I never ran for a club and I don’t come from a family of athletes. I’m more or less self-taught! Fast forward a few years and I’m a 4x state champ and record holder and now a first-team D1 NCAA All-American.
I have a viral moment where my legs gave out during a national championship (you live and you learn!)

When I think back to where I was freshman year of high school, I know I would’ve wanted something like this. There is SO MUCH that I know now that I could benefit from the wisdom of someone in the position I’m in now. Things like recovery, hydration, nutrition, meditation, race strategy, foam rolling, I can go on and on. And don’t even get me started at how poorly I went about recruiting (at first). Having someone who knows what it takes to get to the next level, who is close to you in age and relatable is an invaluable thing. Plus, I love to dive into the science behind peak performance (I’m pre-med and an EMT) and am always looking for ways to help those younger than me get to the place I’m at today.
