Cody Smith '25 Recruiting Profile

I am currently a senior at Vandegrift High School in Austin, Texas. My journey as an athlete began in the 7th grade when I first tried out for my middle school’s track team. Since then, I have been relentlessly honing my skills and striving to become the best version of myself. I am deeply committed to my sport, and I understand that while I participate in individual and team races, an athlete's success is primarily defined by a robust support system. My aspiration for collective success and my readiness to assist my teammates make me an ideal candidate for your esteemed team.
While I cannot vouch for the commitment level of other athletes, I can assure you that this is a manageable interest for me. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to evolving into a collegiate-level sprinter. I am fully invested in track and field and my academic pursuits.
Since the onset of the pandemic, my parents have engaged a private track and field coach to train me, who has since become my mentor. I am cognizant that my journey will be full of challenges; however, I am unwavering in my dedication to representing my future college. I aim to set a precedent for others to emulate, demonstrating the caliber of person and athlete one needs to be to achieve one’s goals.
