Laila Wilcox '24 Recruiting Profile

Thank you for viewing my page! My best attribute is being a quick learner.  I learn very fast and process information to get results. I also love setting goals and seeing myself accomplish them.  Both of these traits are main reasons I am back to my track journey. I compete 200m and 400m.  I also will be competing in the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles. I ran track from the ages of 6 to 12 years old, while achieving state championships and junior olympics in the 400m and 4x100m.  I then decided to begin training and competing in gymnastics at 12 years old. This is considered extremely old for gymnastics, however, I achieved great success by becoming state and regional champion 6 years in a row at levels Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, optionals 8, and optionals 9. 

I am class of 2024 and starting my senior year of high school, I have returned to track due to feeling I have a better chance by working hard in track to meet my goal of becoming a college athlete. I am competitive, determined, and focused on meeting my goal. I am excited to show my potential on the track to become a great asset to a college team. I will run indoor 2023 and outdoor 2024.  I have a personal track coach and we are working 5 days a week to perfect my form and shave seconds on times.
