Daniel Cifuentes '20 Recruiting Profile

As an athlete, I know that it all starts in the class room. I've been told all my life that education comes first, then sports. I can and will guarantee 100% effort in the class room and on and off the track. I plan to become a diesel mechanic and later a professional Motocross rider. My dream would be to run or jump in track at the next level after college. Leadership is a huge deal to me and it's something that has to be earned. It is a big accomplishment to become the leader of a group or team and take it where it needs to be. "Practice like you would at a meet"- this is something I've been taught all my life and I truly believe. The harder a person practices, the better they will perform at a meet. Another important aspect to me is running very often. Consistent work on a back road or just running around the football field is the basis to everything you put out on the track. Not just running once or twice a month but four to five times a week. The best thing I can offer any program is loyalty and dedication. Win or lose I will always stay loyal to the team and the coaching staff. To me, dedication is being willing to work hard and get better every chance you get. That's my goal in all I do.
