Hello my name is Eliana Hernandez for as long as I can remember running has been a big passion of mine. It's kept me focused on certain goals that at first deemed impossible to me. Running has challenged my mind and body making me into the person I am today. I have built endless relationships with the people I have competed against and the coaches who have guided me through my training. As a runner I am very determined and I've learned to persevere through many tough situations. As a runner I know that setting certain goals require time, effort, and work. Being able to do all three of things and still manage to have time to keep my academics in track is something I have managed to do while being a student athlete.
