Jorge Albores '24 Recruiting Profile

Running is my fuel! It is not only something I enjoy, but what powers my day and guides me to accomplish my goals. I have been running competitively since the seventh grade, but during my sophomore year I realized that running competitively has helped me set objectives and develop the discipline for reaching them.  Running has taught me that I am capable of creating a plan, following it, and remaining committed to it. 

For me, training is to running as studying is to school.  My short-term academic goal is to graduate summa cum laude from high school. My long-term academic goal is to become a surgeon. I know that setting high academic goals will prepare me for the rigorous academic activity required in college.  Running allows me to keep my physical and mental health at top performance to also achieve my academic goals. 

I am highly self-motivated, coachable, and creative.  Furthermore, I am persistent, patient, and ambitious. I understand that there is a process to reach my goals. I know that it is a course that will take time and that requires the discipline to remain persistent.  I am on a journey; there will be hurdles, holes, and unexpected turns, but I will not lose focus on the finish line.
