Lucas Arps '19 Recruiting Profile

My name is Lucas Arps.  I am currently a Junior at Fremont Senior High School in Fremont, NE.  I would like nothing more than to run on a track and field team in college.  I have a learning disability called dyslexia that makes school an extreme struggle for me.  Track and field has provided an opportunity for me to achieve success.  I am a very hard worker in practice.  I strive to be the first one to practice and the last one to leave. Even in the offseason, I do as much conditioning as possible to stay in shape and improve myself.  I enjoy my individual events a great deal but find that I get a greater reward from running on the relays.  

I believe that I would be an asset to a track and field program for many reasons.  My hard work and dedication to my sport and my team is displayed each time I go to the track.  I recognize others accomplishments as well as my own.  I support and encourage all members of my team no matter what event they are in.  When someone is facing a challenge on the team, I am always there to help and encourage, whether the challenge is on or off the track.  I truly see my teammates as family.
