Ian Colbert '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ian Colbert and I have a goal to be one of the best Olympic runners of all time. A college would see how much work ethic I put into something I love, as much as track. My track career is not my only goal in life though, I wish to study in a pre-nursing program and become a pediatric nurse practitioner. I never was afraid to work hard to get to where I needed to be, and when a challenge arose so did I. My heart burns with a passion to compete in everything I do and be the best at it. I also come to teams as a leader and I am not afraid to get past my comfort zone to be different. Running for a collegiate team is a major bonus as I run sprints, mid-distance, and hurdles. I come with a mindset of knowing no one works as hard as me, and if they do that just means to push through adversity.
