Edward Condolon '24 Recruiting Profile

I first discovered my passion for the sport of track and field during my middle school gym class in 7th grade. The first time I ran competitively was in 8th grade cross country where I was the 7th best runner and competed in the state championship.  Despite not being able to compete in the 8th grade track season due to COVID-19, I continued to show a stark interest in running track at the High School level and immediately signed up without hesitation for the upcoming winter track season.  Regardless of the postponing of the 2021 indoor season due to COVID-19, I continued to complete every single workout possible to help me get better every day.  This season not only included documenting my runs but also cross-training when the weather didn't permit me to run outside. 

Since freshman year I have been able to grow exponentially faster on the track and build significant leadership and academic skills, such as achieving leadership roles in my local parish ministry and achieving honor roll status during multiple marking periods.  I ended up ranked the number one freshman for the 400m in the state during the winter season.  In a world where track is often perceived to be an individual sport, I thrive on encouraging and motivating my teammates to get faster and stronger mentally and physically. Whether in the weight room or on the track, I strongly believe in the motivational saying "Iron sharpens iron".
