Taylor Elkins '19 Recruiting Profile

2016 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a 5'7" middle distance runner from Richmond Hill, GA. I began my high school running career at Harris County High School as an eighth grader where I was the fourth best runner on the team even though I only qualified for the Junior Varsity team because of my age. I made the first team All Bi-City team for cross country as a freshman and I finished my freshman year with 1 B and 7 A's while taking 4 honors classes. As a sophomore I took one AP class as well as 3 other honors classes and my foreign language classes. I want to become an medical doctor or a physical therapist and I am looking for a program that will support my education while allowing me to pursue my dream of running in college. I am looking for a small D1 program that has a great pre-med/biology degree.
