Alana Heitland '26 Recruiting Profile

I am hard working and competitive. I always have been. Like anyone I have had my struggles but ever since I was a kid I have always loved to run and sports in general. Every year the town high school would hold a track meet for kids and I would go to it and run my heart out in those races, I always got first which made me love it more, I still have those ribbons. I loved that feeling and the adrenaline so I wanted to get better and do it when I was older. So I joined track and field. I have never liked the participation awards I would throw them away. I wanted to earn whatever I did I didn’t want to just participate I wanted to be the best I could at what I do. So I strive to always do my best and be confident in what I do. I work well with a team and I always try to stay optimistic and help others, I find that you can accomplish way more that way. The only competition I focus on is my potential and am always open to learning something new. My grades are very important to me and I always try my hardest to stay on top of them, I am excited to see where the future takes me.
