Reuben TeVelde '27 Recruiting Profile

I’m a student-athlete from Ferndale, WA, and I love the challenge and strategy of middle-distance running, especially the 800m.  As a sophomore, I ran a 1:52 and know that I have so much more potential with the right training and competition. I also run cross country to build strength, endurance, and mental toughness, and I’ve learned how important it is to show up consistently and compete as a team.

Academically, I’m a 4.0 student (with multiple honors and dual enrollment courses) and have been homeschooled through a rigorous and well-rounded curriculum that’s prepared me to think deeply and succeed in college. I’m especially drawn to engineering because I enjoy problem-solving, design, and applying creative thinking to real-world challenges.

I’m looking for a college where I can keep growing, both on the track and in the classroom, and be part of a team that’s driven, supportive, and competitive. I’m excited about what's ahead and ready to give my best to the next level.
