Alexander Bates '26 Recruiting Profile

My entire life I have had a joy for running, maybe it was because I was a hyper little kid, or it was the stories I would hear about how good my father and uncle were at track. It's been something I have dreamed of doing for as long as I can remember, run with the "professionals." now that I'm half way through my high school years I'm even closer to being able to run with other people fast enough to push me beyond my past limits. I want the opportunity to make a name for myself in more than just high school track, I want to take this career even further, possibly beyond college level track, all I need is an opportunity to learn and be taught with proper training by professional coaches. I love the track and field community and I love supporting every single teammate in their event no matter what. I try to have an uplifting spirit and drive others to better themselves.
