Austin Montgomery '21 Recruiting Profile

When I was 6 years old, I ran my first 5k, from that moment on, I fell in love with running.  I began running with a school team and a club team in the 4th grade.  This sport has grown me as a person.  It has taught me that nothing is handed to you, no matter how talented you are.  You must trust the process and train diligently if you want to rise to the top of your ability as an athlete.  As one of the few Seniors on my HS team, I strive to be a leader through my actions.  I've always enjoyed being part of a team effort and look forward to running with new team companions at the college level.

In the classroom, I work extremely hard to maintain a high GPA.  As a student whom was once labeled with learning differences, I found hard work in the classroom is just as important as hard work on the course, if a student wants to come out on top academically.  

In my rare spare time, you can find me volunteering often at Aid Stations or on the Course of Community Trail Events.  I also enjoy assisting in Community Parks and Trail Clean Ups.  Exercise and the Environment are both important issues to me, and I enjoy giving back where I can.
