Grant Headley '25 Recruiting Profile

As a freshman on the cross country team for Crater High School I knew that I had to push myself if I just wanted to be a good runner on Jv. With our team winning state and making it to regionals I soon became aware of just how good our team was. This pushed me to be even better next year. I came into my sophomore season with a new drive, not just to be better than the last year but to try and be the best that I could that year. Throughout my training I really became attached to the sport and came to the realization that running is something that I need to keep doing throughout high school and then compete at the college level.

With my team taking first at state, and regionals, and then placing fourth at nationals my sophomore year I learned something. I learned that if I just commit myself to this sport, and sacrifice things, that there is no limit to what I can do. As someone who is very competitive I am looking for a competitive program that will challenge me not only in athletics but will also keep me academically involved. To me being talented isn’t everything, the work ethic and commitment behind my sport and education is even better than being naturally gifted. I believe that with my mentality and hard working personality, along with my drive that I will be a great asset to your team
