Jason Gaines '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jason Gaines and I run distance track and cross country.  I decided to join track and cross country because I wanted to participate in a sport that I really enjoy with my friends; and I view as a lot of fun.  Running with my team, is both challenging and quite enjoyable.  It also allows me to demonstrate both leadership qualities and teamwork as we push one another to always do our best.  I see myself getting stronger and better along the way. During my first two years of high school, I became quite fond of both track and cross country, and want to continue pursuing them both as a college student.  

Academically, I have a strong grade point average and the keen ability to maintain my studies while participating athletically without issue. It's my goal to attend a college that will support me both academically and athletically. I want to work with a program that will help me grow as an athlete, and become the best version runner I can be.
