Lavon Wilborn Jr. '27 Recruiting Profile

Over the last few years I've found a new love for running and enjoy the challenge of improving my results every race. I have a natural talent and gift for running that has taken myself and my team mates to the Middle School State Championships in 7th and 8th grade, and to Regionals in XC and TF my freshman year. With the help of my coaches, my times have remained consistent in being in the top 10% of my class in the state of Ohio, and #1 in my division. My work ethic, natural abilities and drive provide me with the potential to become a successful contributor to any Division 1 running program in the future. I cross train outside of traditional practices, and I'm fluent in plyometrics and have an elite endurance and strength for my age and size. I am on track to becoming a successful collegiate runner, and I look forward to taking my talents as far as God will allow. I'm a dedicated team player that's always willing to push myself to the highest level. I've had the opportunity to train with the top runners in Ohio, and I enjoy how the competition pushes me to become better. Central Ohio is surrounded with great talent, and i see myself only going up from here! I have come to love a saying that I've heard from both running and basketball coaches, "What I had I gave, because what I save is lost forever!"
