Jessica Duran '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello! My name is Jessica Duran, I am beginning my senior year at Wendell High School in Wendell, ID. I am the only female on our XC team and the only female running distance on our track team. I cannot wait to run for a university where I can have a strong team of females surrounding me, to push each other to greatness on the course and in the classroom

It has been my dream since 6^th grade to run distance in college. My 2020 XC season I was the 2A state champion, the year before that (2019) I placed 17th at state XC.  in 2021 I competed in state track while having severe IT band syndrome and was still able to medal in both the 1600 (6^th) and the 3200 (4^th)

I currently have a 4.0 cumulative GPA, I am the All Student Body President, a member of National Honor Society and FFA, I am the Region IV Idaho High School Activities Association Student Advisory Council representative. I plan to study engineering or sports medicine.

My dream and goal that I have been working toward for 7 years  is to continue my academic and athletic career beyond high school.  I believe that I will thrive on a team of strong girls where I can become faster and build positive lasting relationships with my teammates and coaches.
