Alan Gordillo '16 Recruiting Profile

To me, team is another word for family. I offer my best to my team but I also work on empowering those around me. I started my running career at the bottom of the depth chart and worked my best to rise to the top. It was not the destination that motivated me, it was the impact I knew I could have on others that inspired me to work hard. I wanted to serve as an example to everyone who is at a lower level that anyone can rise up.

Along with my running career, I am also committed to my academics. Being active in the classroom and challenging myself is what drives my success. Helping others is another key factor because it not only helps them but it serves as a learning experience for me. 

College has always been the path I've wanted to take. I know that putting in hard work in the present, serves of great importance in the future.

My vision for my future consists not of just making money. It is composed of the idea of making a difference, and inspiring others.
