Katelyn (Katie) Nolan '25 Recruiting Profile

My full name is Katelyn Nolan, but I go by Katie. I'm 17 years old and a track athlete at Delaware Valley Regional High School in New Jersey. (I just began my senior year.) I'm very dedicated to becoming the best student athlete I can be by achieving top grades in honors and AP level classes along with improving on the track. Finishing my junior season, I ran a 2:22.22 in the 800 and 59.81 in the 400 along with helping my 4x400 team as the anchor leg to a new PR. I also tried out some sprint events when my coach allowed, and I was able to clock a 12.78 in the 100m and a 26.91 in the 200m. With these progressing times I am very eager to bring dedication and versatility to collegiate athletics. 

Something that stands out about me is not only my passion for the sport but also my devotion. I found running midst the pandemic as my typical pastimes were no longer in action and instantly fell in love. Since 2020, I have run at least 4 times a week, working to get faster with each run. I am looking forward to having a collegiate level coach and an encouraging team who is willing to support me in achieving the high goals I have set for myself.

I am also very well rounded, being involved in athletics and academics while holding a part time job at my local rock climbing gym and volunteering in my community. I look forward to running competitively at the college level and developing not only as a runner but as a young individual.
