Hayley Herberg '15 Recruiting Profile

Hi, I'm Hayley.  I'm a senior at Scotts Valley High and I'm looking forward to running cross country and track in college.  Although my main event in track has been the 400m, I am also able to run the 100m, 200m and 800m.  I am anchor of my 4x100 and 4x400 teams.  I've also had a lot of success in cross country, having competed at the California State finals every year since my freshman year and finishing in the top 85 runners.  I was elected captain of my cross country team for this season.  When I'm not running, I enjoy riding my horses and spending time with my many pets.  I have always felt a connection with animals and plan to major in biology in college and study to become a large animal vet.  

I am grateful for the discipline I've learned from running.  It has taught me that though achieving my goals may be difficult, that if I put in the work, I will see results.  I am taking honors and IB classes and finding that the more I'm challenged, the better my grades are becoming.  I've always been a come from behind runner and see this as a metaphor for my experience in high school.  As I approach the finish of high school, I am looking forward to reaching my goals.  Then I'll be ready for the next challenge!
