Andrew Glesmann '24 Recruiting Profile

This 2023 season will be my second year running track and doing hurdles. I've played sports all my life and first decided to run track as a way to stay in shape and be involved in a community, and I immediately fell in love with both. I love the sense of community and involvement created by sports teams and I think that track took that to a further extent. Something about hitting a new PR, or having a great practice whether that is running extra fast, or feeling even better going over hurdles, just makes track an incredible experience for me that I want to replicate as much as possible. I hope, in college, to be able to continue this involvement in sports and the community and continue growing as a runner, and a teammate.

One of my favorite memories from track came from last spring season, when I had a stress reaction on my left shin from overuse; I was completely devastated. However, during this time, I watched a lot of videos on hurdling and did a lot of stretching in hopes that when I returned I could have improved a lot in my time not running. Sure enough, when I returned I managed to 3-step a hurdle at a regular distance for the first time ever and beat my 110m hurdle PR by over a second.
