Ryan Duffy '13 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ryan Duffy. I attend Greenhill School in Addison, Texas, and I run Cross Country in the fall and Track in the Spring. During the winter, I run by myself to stay in shape. I am 6'0" and I weigh 150 pounds currently, but this varies because I tend to lose alot of upper body weight depending on the intensity of my running.

 I have run Cross Country for 3 years as a Varsity starter, and have received all-conference honors sophomore and junior year. Throughout high school,  I have always dreamed of continuing my running career into college. I get along well with my teammates and next year I will be  captain, along with being in my school's student leadership club. 

I have no specific preferences for geographical locations, size, or atmosphere of the college. I just hope to go somewhere where I will enjoy my experience and be able to run. 

I have not particularly narrowed down my search for majors, so I am still considering Law, Business, Languages, or International Relations.

I ran track freshman year, but was plagued with injuries throughout the season so I was not able to perform well. I did not run track sophomore year because I spent the second half of the year abroad in Florence, Italy. This year I hope to run the 800, 1600, and 3200 in the Spring on my school's team. 

Realistically, I think I would be running at a Division- III school. My goal is to make a positive contribution to the team and help it suceed.
