Tyler Deme '25 Recruiting Profile

I am a competitive distance runner that has not yet found my performance limits. I believe I am only getting stronger in my performance and would be a real asset to a collegiate team. It is no secret how competitive college-level running can be and how truly valuable the opportunity to run for the right school would be for an athlete like me.

I compete in both indoor and outdoor track, as well as cross-country. It is my firm belief that my coaches see me as a strong leader on my team, and I strive to live up to that identity. I try to encourage my teammates and assist my coach by passing on lessons learned wherever and whenever possible. 

I am committed to my team and enhancing my performance. I have enrolled in a third-party coaching program to improve my approach, mechanics and times during this pivotal upcoming season. I am also enrolled in “The Running School” in NY state to gain more experience with other runners and additional coaching perspectives.

My goals are not just limited to athletics. I believe any coach will find that I am as committed to my academics as I am to my athletics. It is clear my future relies on success in both endeavors. I am enrolled in honors classes and a maintain a consistently high GPA and I have not had a semester in high school where I have not been on the honor roll.

I want to be a leader in college. A leader in athletics and academics–driving myself and my team to the next level. A student and an athlete that makes my coaches, my family and my community proud.
