Chase Cartwright '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been a runner since as long as I can remember and it has become my passion.  I didn't know I would want to run in college one day but it has been my goal to be a collegiate athlete in Cross Country and Track since junior high.  I know it takes hard work and discipline to be a successful distance runner; there is no off-season and no breaks longer than a couple weeks. I have applied this discipline to my academic goals as well and have achieved success for my team. I am not a typical teen who spends a lot of time on social media. I am more old-fashioned in my beliefs and I stick to my values. I believe this is part of what makes me a strong athlete and good student. It is also very important to me to be a leader on my team and step up when called. I have respect for coaches and teammates and I like to bring a positive energy to my team, classes and competitions.
