Christian Aghedo '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile 

 
The main reason I engaged in track and field was because of myy passion for being active. I enjoy the feeling of running and going faster than others and being able to race against my friends. I love going to the gym to work out to get stronger, and it helps take my mind off school too, especially with my friends. And what I most like about track and field is that I compete for myself, not for others. I knew that I couldn’t blame anyone for my mistakes, and no one could blame me for theirs. Whenever I lost a race, or didn’t make a final, the only thing that kept me up was my spirit. That's what is unique about me. I never felt sad or down after a big race, because I knew there was more to life than that. I did whatever I could to make sure that me, and the rest of my track team stayed positive and happy no matter how badly we performed. Being a good support to my teammates and livening up the atmosphere makes the grind to get better a lot easier. 

 
 Before track, my first two priorities are my faith and academics. Being a follower of Christ means to do my best to love and serve others. I enjoy giving back to my community, whether that is helping out in Sunday school, running church camps, or helping out coach our middle school track team. I also have two little brothers at home who look up to me as their elder brother. The kind of person I want them to be is the kind of person I should be. Someone who is always working to be better than yesterday, no matter how little the improvement is. Secondly, my academics comes next. As I enter my junior year of high school, I’ve been able to stay as a straight A student. While I continue throughout my high school years, my expectations to achieve and maintain a high GPA won't change. I plan to spend my time wisely, focus on what’s in front of me and continue to dedicate myself to the team, and to my subjects.
