Olivia Gibson '25 Recruiting Profile

As an ambitious and dedicated high school senior, I have cultivated a strong academic background while actively engaging in athletics and leadership roles in school and in my community. Balancing my commitment to track with my studies, I have maintained a B average, striving to improve my performance both in the classroom and on the track. My passion for running has not only enhanced my physical endurance but has also instilled in me the discipline and resilience necessary to succeed in all aspects of my life. I believe that these qualities will make me a valuable addition to your collegiate track program.

In addition to my athletic pursuits, I have gained extensive leadership experience that complements my dedication to sports. As the most recent and youngest Director of Vacation Bible School at my church, I organized activities and led a team of volunteers, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. This role taught me how to motivate others, manage time effectively, and approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset. It was the most successful Vacation Bible School camp in over twenty years according to my pastor.  Similarly, starting my own clothing line at the age of 14 ignited my entrepreneurial spirit and allowed me to develop essential business skills, from marketing to financial management. These experiences have deepened my desire to pursue a degree in Business, where I can continue to explore my passion for entrepreneurship.

I am eager to leverage my skills in athletics, leadership, and entrepreneurship in a collegiate environment that values dedication and teamwork. I am confident that my background and experiences have equipped me to thrive in your program while pursuing my academic goals. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my passion for track and my entrepreneurial mindset to your team, and I am excited about the challenges and growth that lie ahead.
