John Rivera '17 Recruiting Profile

One of my main goals is to get to college and do the sport I love but also enjoy every part of my academics as well. What separates me from the rest of all the other athletes out there is that I don't like to quit. I want to work hard and I truly believe that by working hard you get what you work for. Track has always been apart of me and I enjoy everything about it. I don't just like the sport but I love it. Knowing that each and everyday as I come out to the track and take it day by day, I will get faster, I will get stronger, and I will become a better athlete overall. I don't take things for granted and always want to earn the things I do. I love to learn, whether if it's in the classroom or out on the track. My two biggest goals in life are to continue excelling in the sport to hopefully reach a chance of someday being an Olympian and also go to school to get the highest degree possible in whatever I decide to do. College track is definitely what I believe the best and most exciting sport to watch out there. If I could be apart of such an amazing sport in college then I know I have what it takes to reach the next level and become someone great one day.
