Mark Strattman '23 Recruiting Profile

I have loved to run since I was a kid, running track in middle school and freshman year, before COVID cancelled the freshman and sophomore season.

Last year( my junior year) I decided to join the track team to see how well I would place in the 100m with no running training prior to the season. I started at 15.2 and managed to get my time down to 14.0 before getting sick for the last meet. I hate losing and performing badly when I know I can do so much better and since the season ended (June) I have been training for the next season determined to prove to myself that I can do a lot better. At the end of June I was running 13.34(June 27)  and on July 18 I clocked 12.48  and last Sunday August 21st I ran 11.68.

I am determined to push my body as far as it can go, and then go further. I like being around like minded people so we can help each other get better. I not only work hard but use my brain to learn where to apply the hard work for the best results. I believe that I am essentially a nerd who got into athletics.

Look out for me this coming track season because I will show myself and the world what I can do.
