Taven Butler '21 Recruiting Profile

As a runner, I want to go as far as my legs will take me. I have dreams of running Track and Cross Country in college. I plan to pursue a teaching degree, specifically the High School level. 

I believe I am a great candidate for any team due to my positive attitude and extreme desire to see myself and my teammates succeed. I not only give top effort at practice, but I train on my own to give myself the best advantage.

I am someone who highly values integrity and hard work, and I think that running has shaped me into a better person. In academics, I am someone who will do anything to get the highest grades I can. I put in extra work and focus into academics because without good grades, the athletics are not possible. 

In my opinion, I am someone my peers and teammates can count on. I am honest, outgoing, and willing to help anybody who needs it. I believe that being a good, hard working person can get you so far despite your talent or lack there of. So many people in my life have complimented me for my willingness to help and my great mindset when I execute those actions. 

One last thing I would like to add is that I am someone who will listen to my coaches. If someone is coaching at this level, they clearly have earned it and in that case, they have earned my respect. I will listen, I will do what is asked of me, and I will do everything in my power to achieve the goals that my coaches expect of me.
