Madeline Kyle '20 Recruiting Profile

I have only become acquainted with the sport of track in the last few years. There are not many opportunities for me to run track around my area, so I had never considered it. Before that, I was an athlete of many sports, such as lacrosse, sailing, equestrian etc.

This year, I was not able to participate in my junior winter season, as I got sick with migraines, and was at home nursing back to health for about 3 months. Even if I had been well, proper indoor facilities for track are not available to me wrong the winter months. During the season this spring, I ran with two clubs, and began to build on the knowledge I had acquired the previous year, lowering my times as well.  

The opportunities I have been given to run have not brought me to my full potential. I feel that I have lots of room to grow, especially with intense daily training. I really want to learn what my real potential is, and put myself to the test, exploring the limits of my physical abilities. I am a leader, and very hard working. I have never had a world without sports, and I cannot imagine my college experience without a team of track athletes like myself.
