Elena Olson '24 Recruiting Profile

I am Elena Olson, and I currently run 100 meter hurdles, 400 meter hurdles, 55 meter hurdles, sprints, and relays. I did not happen to start running at an early age, for I consistently Irish Step Danced,  while playing soccer and softball. During the winter of my freshman year of high school, I decided to try out and quickly fell in love with Track & Field. I am interested in running during my college career, and I am truly open to many different types of universities. Throughout my dance career, which lasted 9.5 years, I quickly learned to be a leader, and a team player. The skills I learned from the other sports quickly transferred to my track teams, as I am one of the captains on my high school team. I am currently 5’5, 120 pounds, and my personal records include: 15.58 (100H) and 1:06.09 (400H). In school, I am in all AP and Honors courses, and have a 4.95 GPA. A few majors I am currently interested in are Psychology, Sports Management, and Criminology. I have goals to become both a strong 400 and 100 meter hurdler for my team in college. I am always up for a challenge and ready for anything!
