Darius Carter '18 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was a kid and saw the way people were running,I was just really amazed by it. By the time I started to get older I realized that this passion for running that I wanted to start was just to hard and I started give up on it. But I knew that I wasn't really good t any other sports,running was all I had so I stuck with it. I did everything I had to do to get better,cross country,summer track,and practiced and when ever I could.Then it all came down to the academic stage before I was able to start running and yes I actually failed one of my classes which was keeping me from running and it just ruined a part of me. But when I took the time to actually start studying and paying attention a lot things got better for me. Im not gonna say that I was the fastest runner and the only way we were going to win was because of me.

I actually was nearly the worst runner,I always seem to lack behind a lot but what really set me apart from everyone was my passion for running and I never gave up.my coach always said"run your race " and that's exactly what I did. I will continue to run my race because when I'm out there I'm just thinking about finishing my race.
