Nicholas Leonard '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Alexander Leonard and I want to study History in college. I want to be able to continue the sport I love in the next stage of my life. My goal would be to improve my skills and experience in college and to give the best of my ability to my coaches and teammates. I will always try my best in practice and in competition. I will follow and listen to the advice senior members and my coach give me. I always try to lift up my teammates and to push them to be the best version of themselves on and of the sport. I will do what the coach has instructed of me to do in practice and in races. I am competitive and goal-driven. I will continue to work hard and persevere even if I want to stop and give up. I have good grades in hard classes and can balance school and sports. I have experience running with both a team that got 2nd in our region and went to states and a team that had mostly new runners and had to build itself back to a good team. I have experience leading my team as in my junior year our senior boys XC captain got injured early on in the season and I had to take the role of captain as I was the oldest and most experienced. I have led the boy's distance track team since 11th grade and will continue to lead them in my senior year.
