Layla Lerus '24 Recruiting Profile

I specialize in the 100m and 200m but can also do the 400m. 

One thing that sets me apart is that I am a sprinter with type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed at the age of 8, and this has taught me how to be not only tough, but also this gave me the determination to achieve ALL goals I have set for myself. I have HEART and I am hungry. I am a natural fighter and you WILL have the most committed athlete in me without a doubt!

I truly believe that I am a diamond in the rough and when given the chance, I will show you what I am made of!
The year 2021 I was injured so I couldn’t compete nor lift weights, but this year I am back stronger than ever and my coach is anticipating that I will be in the mid to low 12 seconds at the 100m, and mid to low 25s at the 200m.

Academically I currently have a 3.45 unweighted GPA which translates to around a 3.7 weighted. I am in IB and I speak French fluently.
