Kelly Nelson '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Kelly Nelson. I am currently a sophomore attending Sherwood High school. I’ve always loved running. I've loved the idea and feeling of winning. During my elementary years, I joined girls on the run and continued until middle school. That’s when I stopped running as a sport . Once I entered middle school, I started falling in love with another sport and left running behind. I started playing another sport and stuck with it. I thought that’s what I wanted to do, so I stuck with it, but over the years, as I grew older, it started to feel like a chore. It was just a constant feeling, so right after my season ended in 2023, I decided to try out for track, which all leads me back to my love for track and field. I feel happier. This is where I’m supposed to be. It looks like I’m staying for sure.
