Luke Schmidt '23 Recruiting Profile

Running in recent years has become a great passion of mine and a source of drive and achievement for me. Ever since I gained an affinity for competitive running I have worked continuously to improve myself as an athlete, both physically and mentally. I push every run to get the most out of it while also maintaining a consistent, disciplined running schedule. When recovering from runs I enjoy reading up on the science and philosophy behind running to help further my athletic knowledge. Having a curiosity for the secrets and ideas behind the best runners I like to work closely with my coaches and see what they can offer me. Growing with each coach and great runner I come across I have been slowly, but surely, shaping up to be a more independent runner that can guide himself even when a coach is not present while also being a cooperative athlete who will gladly work closely with a coach when available.
