Sophia Castro '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Sophia, I’ve been running track since 7th grade and fell in love with the sport ever since I entered high school I wanted to reach the goal of running track in college I’ve been running for 4 years and for my career I would like to become a Nurse.

Why I want to run in college is because I want to earn another opportunity to do the thing that I love with new coaches and a tea I like to be there for others and encourage others that they can do anything they set their mind to and achieve their goals winning in life.

Coming from and injury that could have put me out for the rest of the season and not being able to play sports encouraged me to work harder for the next season and slowly I am starting to become faster each day and stronger mentally. My biggest influences are my coaches, teammates, and my uncle and aunt who encourage me and cheer me on for my track journey . I can’t wait to see where I am headed in track and field in the future.
