Ava Thompson '24 Recruiting Profile

I started running track my freshman year and instantly fell in love with it. By sophomore year I knew I wanted to run in college. Track and field has become an amazing piece of my life. I'm a leader and a captain on my team. I not only hold myself accountable, within and outside of track, but I also do the same with others. I dedicate myself to the sport  year-round, I participated in both indoor and outdoor track, as well as a practive with the cross country team to stay in shape. I get workouts or make my own over the summer, either on the track or in the gym. I maintain a high GPA, and practice in extracurricular activities, while being a strong member and  role model of my team. My times are not yet perfect, I hold myself to a high standard and don't settle for second best. My goal is to keep improving day after day.
