Nolan Weers '28 Recruiting Profile

Since Kindergarten I would go with my dad who is a coach, to the high school track practices and watched/ studied athletes practice and perform. Through this I am rounded in several events from Hurdles to High Jump, 400 to 5K. I feel the 800 meter dash is my best event.   As I got older I started practicing with them.  The older I got the gap closed, yet I continued growing smarter and stronger as a competitor. My work ethic and leadership skills I gained at a younger age was contagious and drove my teammates to their best.  In my 8th grade Track Season I took 1st place at the Iowa State Middle School Track and Field Championships in the 1600 and 800 meter run.  My Freshman year Cross Country I was a lead runner on a team that finished 8th in State in the Class 2A Championship. In my Freshman year of Track I was state qualifier in 3 events (800m, 4x800, 4x400) which included the lead off leg for a 4x800 finalist team. I achieved automatic qualifying standards for the New Balance National Freshman Division Track Meet.   I have now entered training for my Sophomore season of XC..
