Elizabeth Clay McKnight '17 Recruiting Profile

In middle school cross country was not my favorite sport at all. However, when I got to high school and had my first cross country meet everything changed. I individually came in first in that meet and my whole view of the sport was turned around. I knew that competing was something I loved to do and no other sport could offer me the competition I craved for. However, I did not start revolving my life around running until track season of my junior year. This summer I trained everyday in hopes of getting good times for college. I am truly looking forward to what track season has to offer for me.

Through high school I have played Varsity Soccer, Varsity Basketball, Varsity Swim, and of course Varsity Cross Country/Track. I love being a multipart athlete, but know that running is something I want to pursue. Academics are also a main part of my life because I am in the IB Program at my high school. 

I am a determined and competitive athlete. I will be a great attribute to any team because I will give it my all for them.
