Lauren Hansen '18 Recruiting Profile

I started running in Middle School and have loved it ever since.  My goal is to do my very best and win every race/event I am entered in.  I love the team aspect of track.  Relays are one of my favorite events.  Athletically, my best assets are a long stride coupled with quick feet and a solid vertical (21").  I don't believe I have reached anywhere near my full potential.  I am seeking an environment that is challenging academically.

I believe strongly that the life skills that can be gained from being a part of a team as well as the discipline of being a successful student-athlete are immeasurable in preparation for life after college.

In addition to track and field, I fell in love with Haiti and have been on two mission trips there and am a volunteer coach for Unified track, flag football and basketball.  I am a proud team member of the Women's Varsity soccer team.
