Sarai Cruz '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi, I’m Sarai! I started track late in my high school career because it wasn’t something I initially took interest in. I began the sport in hopes to keep in shape for field hockey. However, to my surprise, track turned into my leading passion. Over the course of my time participating in the sport I tested out my skills in a plethora of events including: 2k steeplechase, 1000m, 600m, 800m and the 4x800m relay. What sets me apart from other recruits is my ambition and determination. In a year I shaved 76 seconds off of my 800 time and I don’t believe it’s due to being inherently athlethic, but because of my work ethic. Practice and competition tend to be the most enjoyable experiences for me and my attitude in a team setting is a reflection of that. I exhibit leadership qualities, as I am captain of my current high school team. While balancing my athletics and academics, my gpa has always remained above a 90. I love the sport deeply and would love to bring that to a team with the same intensity. I am a committed student athlete that could make a great addition to your team!
