Stephny Mateo '26 Recruiting Profile

If someone asked me if the pain, sweat, and soreness is worth it? My answer would be yes because running has become my outlet. Others will be complaining about workouts and long runs however I enjoy every part of running because it has become something I fall in love with more everyday. But there also days where I’m exuhasted but I will always try to give my 100%. Running has taught me patience and to trust the process. “ Hard work beats talent” has something I have applied into my everyday training. Collegiate running will allow me to fall in love with running more everyday and improve my athletic ability.
