Mollie Rogan '18 Recruiting Profile

Having never run before, I had no idea what to expect when I joined the cross country team but wanted to get involved at my high school and make new friends.  My background was Irish dance and I competed in Europe at the World Championships four times.  I quickly realized that running was going to replace my love of dance.  I would never have dreamed that I would have become so obsessed with this sport and want to continue running in college.  I have been so lucky to be surrounded by such inspiring teammates and coaches.  Without their support, encouragement and training I would not be the runner I am today.  Running at the state championships each year has allowed me to compete against the best and inspired me to be the best I can be.  I am incredibly disciplined and as focused on nutrition as I am on running.  The experiences I have had in the short time I have been running are amazing.  Winning two state titles my sophomore year is something I will never forget and something I want to repeat.  I plan to continue to develop as a runner and to participate at the collegiate level after high school.  I know with my work ethic and dedication I will continue to get better and better each year.
