Camila Chavez '25 Recruiting Profile

I have been running since I was 5 when my mom put me in triathlons and 1k races. Since then I have joined track in sixth grade and cross country in 10th grade. Running has been a passion of mine and has benefited every aspect of my life. Due to my constant encouragement and dedication to my team and coaches, I have been team captain of the varsity track team since my sophomore year of high school. Every year, my times have dropped drastically as I continue to train with my team and on my own time. I believe this is especially impressive because I only had a hurdle coach my sophomore year and every other year, I’ve self-coached and trained diligently to decrease my times. I also do cross country during the off-season to continue my running and I have been able to decrease my 5k time by over two minutes in just a year. 

Outside of track and cross country, I am a student who has worked hard to maintain a 3.99 GPA while being in all honor classes. I am an active participant in my community and I do everything I can to make an impact on those around me. I was elected as senior class president and participate in multiple student-led groups around campus.  I am driven by goals to become an architect and continue my running career in college. I am eager to bring my passion, leadership, and commitment to a collegiate program. My ability to balance rigorous training with academic excellence makes me a strong candidate for a college team.
