Courtney Maroney '19 Recruiting Profile

Hello, 

My name is Courtney Maroney. I was an avid runner on the track and cross country teams.  I even ran 2 and 1/2 marathons. Mid-year I injured my right knee.  I went through intense therapy and was determined to get back to running. I loved the mindset of running.  To my dismay, I can only run short distances now.  I have always loved golf too since the day my dad signed me up for The First Tee when I was in grade school.  I have always thought that golf and running are very mental sports.  After I recovered I decided to focus solely on my game.  My golf game is continually growing. My personal best is a 79.  I am a very outgoing and energetic person.  I feel that helps me stay motivated in everything I do.  I have a very strong Christian faith.  I don't think I would be where I am in life without that.  I have overcome many obstacles including being dyslexic. I think that the more obstacles we have to overcome the stronger we become.  There are several professional athletes that have overcome dyslexia and injuries.  I truly admire them. They help me see that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it and give it 100%. I look forward to college.  I want to become a nutritionist.  I would like to help athletes become healthier better athletes by simply adjusting their diets.  I want to minor in health science.  This field really interests me.
