Hans Holst '21 Recruiting Profile

Running has been a very important part of my life since 9^th grade.  I grew up playing sports as my main hobby and social activity and played little league baseball and youth basketball consistently.  My parents have been strong supporters of engaging in a positive youth sports culture and they helped me to stay motivated and challenge myself.  Most importantly, I grew up with my twin brother sharing and competing in all the sports we played together.  I feel privileged that my brother and I can do long runs in the hills together in my hometown of Los Altos almost every day of the year.  I know I will run for the rest of my life.  The next objective after high school is competing in college.  I’ve been improving rapidly throughout my HS career and love competing.  I am confident that I will continue to improve and will be competitive in college athletes.

Academics and running are equally important to me.  My favorite subject is math and I have proved myself strong in math and science.  I am very interested in continuing my education in the field of engineering in a strong competitive learning environment and hope to attend one of the nation’s top engineering schools while competing at the highest possible level in college sports.
