Kris Evans '22 Recruiting Profile

Running is one of my passions. Before I entered cross country in my 9th-grade year, I had always participated in sports to stay active. However, after bonding with my team over tough summer mileage and grueling races, I realized that I was meant for this sport. I have aspirations to win races and drop my times significantly. Even when training becomes tough, or I disappoint myself in competition, I persist with hopes for success in the future. Not only do I enjoy running, but I love bonding with my teammates. I almost always go to races that I am not participating in to cheer on my friends. While I enjoy running on my high school cross country and track teams, I also excel in academics. I currently have a 4.3125 weighted GPA, and I possess various academic achievements from my middle school years. Doing well in school is essential to me. Self-discipline and perseverance are two critical qualities through my high school career, whether it be on track or in the classroom. I know the importance of completing my homework and managing my time since I have to run after school. Often it is a big responsibility, but I can handle challenges that come my way.
