Owen Thomas '22 Recruiting Profile

Running is my true passion in life. One of my life-term goals is to be able to look back at my prime and know that I did everything possible to make myself the best runner I could/can be. Steve Prefontaine said that every run is a piece of art; I don't think there's a better philosophy to live and train under. Make every second your best. I am extremely coach-able and love to grind and just to trust the process. What makes me different than other recruits is my loyalty. When you say "jump" I ask "how high". What drives me to work hard is the awful feeling of finishing a workout or a race knowing I could've done something smarter or better. That's why I am a great fit to run at the collegiate level.
