Colin Strachman '24 Recruiting Profile

January 2022Personal Statement
I started running local 5K races in elementary school, and once I joined the middle school cross country team I was hooked. Although I played competitive travel baseball during the spring and summers, it was running that provided me with a sense of accomplishment. As I got older and the practices became more strenuous and the racing became more competitive, I recognized my ability and knew it was a sport I wanted to focus my energy on.
I will always strive for top grades. I currently hold a 4.09 weighted GPA. I am in the National Honor Society. Finding a school and athletic program that values both academics and high-level competition is important to me.
I want to be coached. I want to be pushed beyond what I think I am capable of. My personal mantra is Be comfortable Being uncomfortable. I know there will be adversity. It will come at any time. If I learn how to respond when times are not perfect, then I will excel when others may not.
