Maximus Santiago '20 Recruiting Profile

My track career started in 7th grade when I tried it out and realized it was very fun. Every day I wanted to get out there and keep running and running. My love for the hurdlers didn't stop there when I got to high school my love for the sport grew even more. The summer of my sophomore year of high school I got invited to run hurdles down in Australia. I ended up going down and placing third against other Americans, Australians and New Zealanders. I want to run in college because I never want to stop running and I want to beat all odds. Running keeps me focused on my academics. I know that if I get to run on the next level, track will keep me on the right path. I want to study pre-med because I want to become an orthopedic surgeon.  I'm choosing one the hardest most difficult jobs to get into because I know I can achieve any goal I set my mind too. I'm different from others because the limit of my academic and athletic capabilities is unchartable, I take every little piece of advice and use it to further progress in school and sports.
