Alejandra Gomez '21 Recruiting Profile

My greatest talent is track and field. When I was 10 years old, I started practicing this sport because my mother and my uncle were athletes in their youth and saw that I had potential. My uncle became my coach and he guided me through the Track and Field World. I was able to compete in very important events in Mexico such as the Nationals in 2017, where we got to the finals in the 4x100 m relays, the Nationals in 2019 where we got the bronze medal in the 4x100 m relays, and in 2020 win silver medal in the 400 m and bronze medal in the 100 m in the National Private School Athletics Championships.

All of these experiences made me who I am today. Track and field gave me the bases to become a person with important values like discipline, consistency, teamwork, overcoming, solidarity, and effort which has helped me in every area in my life. I've been able, throughout the years, to overcome and beat myself so I can be a better athlete than I was before. I give everything I have in every training session and I don't give up on myself, and that is what makes me who I am, because of track and field. I have my goals very set and I know what I want to do in the future. My aspirations are to obtain a scholarship in a college in Division 1 or 2.
