Sean Rager '19 Recruiting Profile

I started running in 3rd grade for one simple reason: my older brother was doing it, and I wanted to be just like him. Over the years, however, running has blossomed from being a spontaneous venture, to becoming my main passion. Running is my peace, my happiness, and my competitive drive. The best feeling in the world is coming home after a hard practice and falling right into bed, with your legs too tired to prop you back up. The two-week break after every season leaves me yearning to get back to the sport. My favorite Saturdays are spent getting up at 5 AM to drive an hour and a half to some remote course in the Georgia countryside, so I can run my heart out and cheer on my teammates that have worked so hard alongside me. My only wish is that this joy doesn't end when I graduate high school, and can continue as I push my limits as a collegiate runner.
