Alisiara Hobbs '19 Recruiting Profile

My objective is to find a college, with pre-dentistry, that matches my academic and athletic abilities and will allow me to achieve my ultimate goal to become a Dentist. As a college runner, I plan on making an immediate contribution to my team both on the course and in the classroom, while continuing my efforts to improve and set records. I am confident that once I find the right college that matches my goals I will be able to help lead, challenge and influence my future team to set records. 

Immediately after running my first 5k in the 5^th grade, I found that I loved the competition, atmosphere and the confidence the sport gave me. Since then, I have continued to challenge myself with far reaching goals to push myself to do better each and every day. I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by great teammates who have allowed me to lead and have an influence on our success as a team. This has helped me realize, although cross country seems to be an individual sport, it’s really a team sport that has allowed me to guide my team to always do the best that that they can. I believe that my leadership and dedication have played a big role in the accomplishments that we have achieved this year; such as, qualifying for the Kansas State Championship after earning second place at the Regional meet
