Sean Ortiz '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Sean Ortiz. I’ve been running as long as I can remember. I remember my dad waking me up Saturday mornings to go for a run to finish our week. In fact, most of my memories involve running. I remember my seventh grade cross-country race where I came in second, racing my middle school PE teacher to hit a sub six mile to win pizza for the class, and the feeling of breaking our middle school track record in the four by four relay. Even when I wasn’t just running, I was running, like when I played middle school flag football. Yes, I like to play football, but it was because I was the fastest on my team. The focus and discipline that comes with training and running helps to clear my mind with the stresses of school. It isn’t easy being an above 4.0 student with AP classes and honors classes and running relieves that pressure. I love the competition running brings and the person it turns me into while I am racing. It has been a huge part of my life that I look forward to continue to get faster in the future.

Thanks, 

Sean
