Allison Rand '19 Recruiting Profile

     My name is Allison Rand and I am a high school junior.  My goal is to continue my Track and Field/ Cross Country career at the college level.  5 years ago I became a part of a sport that continues to challenge me both mentally and physically.  I fell in love with running.  From the moment I joined Lumen Christi High School’s varsity track team I learned not just how to run, but how to race.  Both my freshman and sophomore years, I helped my 4x400 team earn all-state recognition.  In the middle of my sophomore track season, I began racing the 1600 meter run.  By the end of that 2017 outdoor season, I won a conference and regional title in the mile.  This past season, I achieved numerous goals I set for myself including winning a state title and breaking two school records. 

      In the fall, I run for Lumen Christi Girls Cross Country.  During the entirety of my freshman and sophomore seasons, I ran varsity.  My junior season I ran my personal best 5K time of 19:25.0 at the DeWitt Cross Country Invitational, placing first in our division.

      Dedication and hard work are necessary for success on and off the track.  Cross Country and Track & Field have had a vital role in my day to day life.  The same effort I give to athletics, I also invest in my academic success.  I am not afraid of a challenge. I take difficult honors courses and play an active role in student council.  My current, cumulative GPA is a 3.99 on a 4.0 scale.

      Over the past few years, track and cross country have taught me that in order to excel, I must train harder than my competition every single day.  I see myself as a leader and hold myself and my teammates accountable for our success.  I make sure that I put my best effort forward on the track, course, and in the classroom.  Every race and workout, I push myself further and desire to continue to unlock my full potential as a runner.  I am looking for the chance transfer this motivation and dedication to the college track.
