Danielle Martinez '13 Recruiting Profile

"People ask me why I run. I say, 'If you have to ask, you will never understand'. It is something only those select few know. Those who put themselves through pain, but know, deep down, how good it really feels." - Erin Leonard
"Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him (her), he (she) will win." -Tom Fleming
"The last thing I remember is hearing the gun, now I'm at the finish line." -Danielle Martinez
It's pretty simple. I run because I want too. I do not run to keep in shape, to get a scholarship (although I will not refuse one), or to be involved, I run because I love it. Running is who I am and who I will always be; in middle school, in high school, in college, and for the rest of my life. I am a runner.
