Colleen Zeibert '23 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to continue my education at a quality college while continuing my passion of running at the collegiate level.  My teammates, coaches, teachers, and parents have played an influential role in both my academic and athletic experiences.  They have taught me to strive for excellence in everything I do, maintain good character, and most importantly to enjoy the experience. Track and cross country caught my attention at a young age.  I first started competing in sixth grade, and it has evolved from there.  My success at the IESA state track meet and IHSA state cross country meet have set the foundation for my running career.  When I am not personally running, I enjoy watching the sport and following professional track and field athletes.  Through practice and competition I have discovered that I am a highly competitive person willing to give 100% in preparation to achieve my goals. I value a strong work ethic, and I am willing to work collaboratively with my team and coaches. My academic goals for high school include maintaining high honor roll status, being inducted into the National Honor Society, and to continue to excel academically.  Currently, I am undecided on a college major, but I have an interest in nutrition and exercise science.
