Marissa Shute '25 Recruiting Profile

I was introduced to running and athletics at a young age and couldn't imagine my life without competing and learning all the life skills that they provide me on a daily basis.  From racing the car down the gravel road to running races with my family, I've always been born to run.  I'm a hard working multi-sport student athlete (cross country, basketball and track) that dedicates 100% to everything I go after. I was raised with a strong commitment and work ethic and strive to achieve this through my academics, extra curricular activities and all sports I commit myself to.

What I bring to a team: I can run many different distances (cross county and track), I strive everyday to challenge myself and work towards my goals and create new ones and  love being part of a team and building the culture.  I love coaches who challenge me and help me reach new goals and heights. 

I am looking for a program that would be a good athletic and academic fit for me. I believe I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but the character work-ethic, and leadership skills to make an impact on your program. As a three sport athlete, I know that I have what it takes to be a leader on your team!
