Omar Elsayed '26 Recruiting Profile

I am Omar Elsayed, and I aspire to compete at the collegiate level in track and field while making a meaningful academic and athletic impact at whichever program I join. I specialize in the 800m (1:58.2) and 400m (50.3) and bring a versatile blend of endurance, strength, and speed to the table. More than just my times, I bring leadership. I’m a team captain, the recipient of the 2025 Leadership Award for track, and a consistent leader in the classroom balancing high academic performance with active involvement in extracurriculars. What sets me apart is my commitment to excellence both on and off the track. I lead by example, push my limits in every practice, and stay coachable and open to growth. I'm always looking for ways to improve, not just for myself, but for my teammates and the program. While I may not yet have national-level times, I believe strongly in my upward trajectory. With my work ethic, discipline, and steady progression, I’m confident I’ll continue to develop into a competitive collegiate athlete. I’ve shown consistent, measurable improvement each season and know my best times are yet to come. My versatility, ability to balance academics and athletics, and my dedication to leadership and growth are what truly distinguish me from other recruits.
