Jacob Piapot '25 Recruiting Profile

 I am a man who started as the slowest runner on a cross-country team, with only eight other runners. I am someone who comes from many injuries to my knees, back, and calf. I am a man whose first ever 5K was 25:08, but now I am someone who is the fastest on a cross-country team with 19 people and a 5K of 17:27. I’m a man that has woken at five in the morning for months to get where I am and I’m not going to stop now. I want to show people if you have enough dedication, not motivation, dedication; that you can do amazing things, even if you started at the bottom. And I want to get faster and better to show my younger self, to show others that you can do great things.
