My name is Raphael Gotfryd. I participate in both track and cross country, and hope to continue to run in college as I have always found that running with and for a team has given me a greater sense of purpose and accomplishment. I fell in love with running in middle school, and since then I have never stopped. Even with AP classes and countless rehearsals for Marching Band, I have been able to keep a high GPA and stay in the high honor roll for my entire high school career. Running is an integral part of my life and continuing to do so on a college team is one of my life's biggest goals.
