Samuel Lorge '24 Recruiting Profile

I am highly disciplined when it comes to my goals both on and off the track. What I love most about running is the overall experiences and memories I've had with my friends/teammates, coaches, and family. I am a better person because of the friendships I made through running. I also believe that hard work and perseverance leads to success in life and athletics. 

One of my goals before I graduate in two years is to break the Kaiser High School 800m record of 1:55.86 that was set in 2017. 

I am looking to find a college team and environment that will continue to push me and the team to be our best. I think it's exciting to think of where running can lead beyond high school. As a student, I am also interested in furthering my experiences in aviation. I have been working towards getting my private pilot license and would like to explore aviation.

In addition to running and flying, I have been part of the Kaiser High School AFJROTC program for the past two years and am currently the PT (Physical Training) Sergeant. My experiences as part of the AFJROTC has shown me the importance of the strength of the unit as a whole, and how each person's abilities helps each other.

In the classroom, I have been able to maintain a 3.8/4.0 GPA and keep a good balance in life.
