Sophia Katechis '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Sophia Katechis! I have been running since I did my first 5k when I was 6 years old. I love running with my whole heart. I played soccer from age 4 until 8th grade, but in 8th grade, I decided I wanted to join the cross country team in high school. I will never regret my decision to stop soccer and join cross country. I had a great freshman cross country season. I was third on my team and had the best freshman cross country season in Northern Valley Old Tappan High School history. I decided to not do winter track and train on my own in the winter. Now, sadly I have a fracture in my shin and I am out for the entire spring season. I really hope to get better so I can continue my running career in college. I would be a good candidate for a college team because I am a team player, respectful, and always determined to get better. I greatly care about my grades, sport, family, and friends/teammates. I hope to compete in the NCAA one day.
