Caroline Young '18 Recruiting Profile

I grew up trying every sport I could get my hands on. Some of them I was very good at, others I just loved the sport.  I played softball for 13 years and soccer for 9. Softball I was very good at.  Soccer was not as easy. I worked hard everyday at that practice and kept trying. I realized before softball that it was not for me. In fourth grade, a friend of mine was wearing a cross country jacket.  I thought it was so cool, so I decided to join.  The first day I new that it was what I wanted to do and I was good at it.  My Freshman year, I stopped doing softball so I could join track.  I had been doing it since I was about three years old, but I new that running was where I was supposed to be.  I am now a sophomore and I can honestly say that running was the greatest decision I have ever made.  It has made me who I am.  Everyday I work hard at practice because I love what I do and I want to get better. I strive to make my team and me to be as great as possible.  I love my team and I know if we all work hard we can go far.
