Abel Richard '25 Recruiting Profile

My life goals are to get through college and join the Air Force as an officer and go to the Air Force Academy to become a fighter jet pilot. I plan to Major in Business (MBA) and Minor in Accounting and Psychology. While in the Air FOrce i plan on attending more school and learning more about Space Science and Physical Therapy. I don't have a lot of open race times as I have always been on relay teams. I am very hard-working and have a leadership role within the track team when selecting other student-athletes to run in relay races and coaching them up to get outside of their comfort zones and pushing them to the best of their capabilities. I'm always up for a challenge and am currently working to break my highschools 200M school record (21.6). On the academic side of competing, I have done UIL Accounting, History, Number Sense, News Writing, and Calculator Applications. I went district for History and got 2nd place team. I would love to continue competing in track through college as it has always been a goal of mine to be the first collegiate athlete in my family.
