Meave Serb '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been a cross country runner since I was in the 6th grade. My school unfortunately did not have track and it was my friend Katie who helped me get introduced to the world of track and field.  I have always been a team player, showing up to practice when I could not participate due to injury and have been a committed athlete having Irish danced since I was two years old. I know what hard work is and have always understood that you get what you put in.  This past cross country season (junior year) I was fortunate enough to be team captain and a representative for new students interested in track and cross country. I created a fundraiser for a fellow Illinois runner who passed away in an accident this year and my team and I raised over $200 for a scholarship in her name. I am not afraid of hard work and enjoy running very much and would really like to run competitively in college. For now my goals are to train and have the best track season I can possibly have given the circumstances of Covid-19 and having a shortened track season as a result.
