Suri Kautz '25 Recruiting Profile

I joined my middle school's cross country and track teams in the 6th grade and immediately fell in love with the sport. From the start I have been motivated by seeing just how far I can push myself.  My favorite track events are the mile and the 800, as well as the 5k cross country distance. My high school does not have a track team but I was determined to continue training and competing and am able to do so with my club team, Emerging Elites.

In addition to running, I like to write poems and short stories, draw, and go on hikes with my family. My sister has special needs and this has led me to volunteer at various special needs sports programs. My favorite is TOPS soccer which is a soccer program for children with disabilities. I love being able to help make sports accessible to kids of all abilities. 

I attend a small independent school. My school doesn't offer AP classes but I take advantage of the many advanced classes that they do offer. For college I hope to find a school that helps me to grow as a student, person, and athlete. I am looking forward to the camaraderie and competition that comes with a college team!
