Ryan Capo '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi! My name is Ryan Capo. I am a very studious and committed student athlete. Also, people say I have a great sense of humor which brings light to many people I've come across. So here’s a little preview of why I enjoy cross country and track. After about six years of playing Orange County Youth football, I found running to be my calling. I began running in middle school and I never knew it would be something I love. It has been such an important part of my life.

I enjoy running because I can focus on myself. It’s a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. It helps you not only physically but mentally as well. I can set goals and reach personal records. Although being a runner is not like most team sports, we still have to work together as a whole to be great. Being able to run has helped me in many ways but contrary to what a lot of people think, its enjoyable.  I’ve created bonds with High School teammates I call my best friends which will last a lifetime. Being a student athlete is not easy. It takes dedication, persistence and perseverance to achieve your goals. Whether it’s 5 seconds off my 1 mile or passing that exam I studied so hard for, it’s all the same. It helps build character and I will be better prepared for anything in the future. I look forward to the opportunity of becoming a college student athlete, contributing in many ways and expanding my horizons.
