During her short time at Neshaminy Pressley has accomplished quite a lot breaking multiple school records. Pressley has broken the school record in the 200 meter with a time of 24.46, and a member of the four by 100 meter relay team that broke the previous school record with a time of 48.43, and those are only the records Pressley has broken on the spring track team.

“I first started running in seventh grade at Sandburg,” sophomore track star Dasia Pressley said. Pressley’s most recent, and largest accomplishment came when she became the PA State Indoor 200 meter champion and was ranked fifth in the nation

On the winter track squad Pressley has broken records in the 60 meter dash with a time of 7.66, the 55 meter dash with a time of 7.19, the 200 meter dash with a time of 24.42, and was also a member of the four by 200 meter team which set a new record this past year with a time of 1:45.63.

“My success, first off, comes from the talent that God has blessed me with… determination, hard work, and dedication are the key to any success,” Pressley said.

Pressley certainly has the raw talent that makes a a great runner, accompanied by the right attitude. The attitude that tells her to practice hard and never fall behind; “She’s just a hard worker, always wants to do better, and is a true leader. She will be captain next year for her junior and senior year,” Head Coach Margie Stefan said.

Although Pressley is only a sophomore, she has received many calls from universities with top track programs. Among those universities is Louisiana State University, whose track team is currently ranked eighth in the nation.

“Dasia will get a full ride for sure, LSU has already contacted her,” Stefan said. As the spring season has just started Pressley certainly has a lot left to accomplish this season, but is only showing signs of improvement.
