Gabriel Martinez '20 Recruiting Profile

I want to become a great runner, and I’m confident I’ve got what it takes to help make your team better. I want to run in college for the team aspect. I feel that in order to be great you need to be with others that have the same goal to train with. “1% of the team is greater than 100% of me” -Eliud Kipchoge. I like this quote because it highlights how you can't do everything alone and how you should value the support people give you. I’m also a younger high school senior. I turned 17 on August 19th. I like to think of my young age in a positive way because most times I compete with Seniors nearly a year older than me. I'm fairly new to high level running but I've become obsessed, and my improvement has been rapid. I think I would be a great addition to any team with running ranging from a 51 second 400m to a 1:15:40 half marathon. I could fill most any spot and excel at what I do.
