Matthew Lyons '19 Recruiting Profile

My goal has always been to play a sport at a Division 1 college. I didn't always know which sport that was going to be, but I knew that it was something I really wanted to do. I always work hard, whether it is school work, sports, a job, or community service and I try to better myself every single day. In the past I have played football, basketball, and a lot of baseball. I had to let go of football and baseball when I joined high school once I realized that running was where my real talent was. I played on the High School basketball team for my Freshmen and Sophomore year but now that I see my true potential in distance running I will likely let go of that as well. As much as I am new to the recruiting process, I understand that the most important thing I need to do is keep working hard and dropping my times. I am very interested in running at the collegiate level and everything I do over the next two years of high school will be geared towards reaching that goal.
