Dawson Schmidt '19 Recruiting Profile

I am a dedicated runner on my cross-country team at Seven Lakes High School.   I have been blessed to run with a great group of young men and have learned so much from them and my coachs.  As an individual I strive to set and achieve higher goals for myself every day.  It is very exhilarating to set goals and strive to accomplish them.  I was able to move from the back to be a top runner on one of the most  competitive high school programs in the state.  I was born with natural ability to run but it took me getting my mind in the right mindset to be the athlete I can be. 

We currently utilize the Paavo running program, which continues to condition me to run greater distances over time with ever changing goals.  I know I will continue to be a dedicated runner in college and plan to carry on with my training. I am a well-rounded individual.  I am not into the party scene, and I strive to keep my body physically and mentally fit. 

I know college is not only about running but learning also.   I am working on bringing up my grades to a higher standard.  I know with my determination and my positive attitude that I will be a good addition to a college cross-country team.
