Emilykate Hopson-Boyd '15 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Emilykate Hopson-Boyd and I am a runner.I have been running ever since I was in the first grade. I remember when I was first starting track and learning how to spell and my mom asked me how do I spell "Track". I spelled it T-R-A-C-K. My mom corrected me and spelled it, W-O-R-K. Track is a sport that challenges me but everyday at practice I never forget to work hard. Running Track is my world and in that world it is a very strong passion of mine that just keep me moving. In my perspective running is just a way of life, it is something that I am determined in and work my very best in. Even if their are sometimes challenges I will get right back up and run taller and stronger in this sport.I am very grateful everyday for my running opportunities. At my school for sixteen years stood the 800 meter school record of 2:22.36, everyday I looked at that record and thought, "A. Glass it is time to come down." Even if I did surpass my sophomore year goal of beating the school record I have to challenge myself and set a much more difficult goal. My main goal currently is to run a 2:18 in the 800m during my upcoming senior year.
