Hi, I'm Ashley Tjaden. I enjoy playing all kinds of sports. I am very competative and a determined athlete. I love God and I enjoy shopping and hanging out with my friends in my spare time.

| Religious Preference: | Catholic |
| Career Goals: |
After college I would like to find a job as an athletic trainer for a college or professional team, but if that does not work out hopefully I can find work as a physical therapist. I would choose either one of those occupations. |
| Why I Play: | I run track because it is my favorite sport. I love it because there is not drama in this sport like a lot of the other sports I have tried. Also it really gets me in shape and I feel great after a good practice. |
| Major Achievement: | I broke the school record in triple jump my freshman year. It was only the second time I have ever tried triple jump and I shattered it by almost a foot. Also I was invited two years in a row to the Peoria Journal Star Honor Roll Meet for triple jump fr |

| Strengths: | My strengths I think are that I always try my hardest. I always want to give a 110% to my coaches at all time. I feel bad whenever I let them down because usually it's not always about doing well for myself, but also for the benefit of the team. |
| Weaknesses: | I would have to say that my weakness is that I am not as strong as I would like to be right now in this stage of my high school career. I would like to be stronger and currently I am working on that by putting in extra hours in the weight room at my high school after each practice. |
