Gabriella DeLong '27 Recruiting Profile

I have been running for less than two years but it’s already a huge part of who I am. Receiving the Most Improved Award for my first two seasons I’m the living proof hard work can get you to amazing heights you’ve never imagined reaching. Although I started later than most of my competitors and I’m young for my grade, the challenge of keeping up with them doesn’t scare me. I know I’m just as capable as those around me.

I want to be a college runner because I want to pursue my running career further than just high school. I know I have great potential and I’m willing to put the work in. I care about the feelings of my teammates and find joy in giving them advice, it being running or life related. I believe in the power of teamwork and know nothing is achieved alone.

I always excel in school by staying up to date on assignments and putting my best effort in schoolwork. Maintaining a 4.0 GPA and being a member of the National Honor Society and Foreign Language Honor Society. I seek knowledge and involvement in my community. Also being an active volunteer in road races and community events in and out of the school setting.
