Anthony Ghiorso '17 Recruiting Profile

I spent my early youth playing soccer and my greatest strength was my endurance.  My mom recognized that and switched me to cross country.  I was running for a club team when a family friend signed a four year running scholarship with NNU in 2009.  I went to as many of his meets as I could;  from that time on I dreamed of running in college.  In addition to being an athlete I am a Christian and a home schooled student.  I want to attend a college where I can focus on, and excel in these three very important areas of my life.  I plan to obtain a degree in business accounting and believe that four years of hard work can launch me into my business and career goals.  Being a varsity team captain at Rocky Mountain High School has been a privilege for me.  My parents trained leadership skills into me as a child and I would love to run for a team where I can contribute both as a leader and a runner.  I enjoy life in Idaho where I backpack, hunt, ski and play recreational volleyball.  I have also been involved in church ministry, choir and other leadership activities.  I am excited about this new chapter in my life and growing stronger and faster as a runner in these next four years.
