Abbie Flores '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Abigail (Abbie) Flores, and I am currently a student at Grassfield High School in Chesapeake, Virginia. I am apart of our cross-country and track & field teams, and I also spent years as a competitive swimmer. At one point, I was walking up before sunrise for swim practice, then heading straight to school and finishing my day with track practice. Those days taught me a lot about pushing limits and finding a balance in intense, dual- sport schedules. Juggling both sports taught me the value of time management and grit. I had to make every hour count, which meant early alarms, accurate planning, and, most importantly, learning to persevere. I’ve carried that mentality into everything that I do- whether it’s on the field, in the classroom, or in my personal goals. it’s not about working hard; it’s about it maximizing each opportunity and constantly pushing myself to be better. Beyond athletics, I am committed to pursuing a pre-med path in college, with my sights set on becoming an anesthesiologist. I know that this goal requires years of focus, resilience, and dedication, qualities i’ve already built through my athletic journey. What makes me different from other recruits isn’t just my work ethic or athletic ability but my resilience and determination to continually grow. I hope to bring that same passion to your program, where I can thrive as a collegiate athlete and contribute positively to the team’s culture and success. I am excited about the chance to reach my fullest potential in college athletics and to make an impact alongside teammates who share that same passion for improvement and excellence.
