Donovan Bernal '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Donovan Bernal, I prefer to go by Mikey, and I have been running track for over five years. My journey was temporarily  stopped due to a year-long injury in 2019-2020. With the help of my sports physician Dr. Annette Zaharoff and Physical Therapist Julie Barnett, I made a complete recovery. I had to start my training from square one. Although it was hard, the love of the sport and my running mates supported my efforts and made my determination stronger. As of now,  I run a 10.72 100M, to a 4:27, all the way to a 16:56 5K. My determination has also extended in regard to my academics. My overall goal is to be as rounded in the classroom, on the track, and in life.
