Maryela Soto Mendoza '19 Recruiting Profile

Sports are a part of me, they have helped me reveal the person I am. My parents, coaches and family are a big contribute to the person I am. They have guided me and influenced me to become better. As a child I played soccer, in middle school I ran the Kennedy games and volleyball, and throughout high school I was involved in four sports yearly. Being coming part of sports teams educated me with opening to others learning to trust new people, dedication, understanding it the team before yourself and friendship we are working together to achieve a mutual goal. These experiences have helped grow and becoming stronger to be capable to play in college level

As I ran both XC and TF I learned leadership, commitment and sacrifice, placing 1^st in my league for my three years running. I am a partner to those in my team and help them with struggles, to guide them as their team captain. I have the talent to run in college, but I also have the leadership skills, character and commitment to make an impact on your program. I am a four-sport athlete and I know I have what you want on your team.
