Drayton Bourne '24 Recruiting Profile

Athletics and Academics are very important to me.  I am motivated to do my best in all parts of my life. I started running when I was 8 and I have had a love for it ever since. I ran the 1600m, 800m, and 4x400m in middle school, and the 800m and 4x800m this year, as well as cross country in the fall. I have also been a part of multiple running  clubs and have participated in many local 5k races. Running is important to me because I love the feeling of accomplishment, and it always feels great knowing that I got a run in to start or end my day. I enjoy being a part of a team and I am a natural born leader. 

Running has taught me patience, time management, and sacrifice. 

I developed a stress fracture in August of 2021 and was in a boot all of Cross Country season, but I am healed and training for track season coming up in February.
