Ava Burns '28 Recruiting Profile

I fell in love with running at the age of 6 when I began running in local 5Ks with my mom, and it has been my greatest joy since. Running has taught me so many life lessons, most importantly it's taught me to never, ever give up. Reward comes when you keep going, even though sometimes it's difficult. To succeed in running or life, you have to put in the work.

I am competitive, motivated, committed, and dedicated. My dream is to become a collegiate runner and I will continue to work hard in all aspects of my life to achieve this goal.
