Alex Gard '23 Recruiting Profile

I am not the fastest runner on the team, but that's not what is important to me. Running is too hard a sport to do without a strong team and a passion for it, and I have both. I'm blessed to have a team full of unique people, but something we all have in common is our support and care for one another. I love both the individual and team aspect of cross country. Every meet is a chance to not only compete against myself for a new personal record, but also an opportunity to become closer to my teammates. I love competing for many reasons and the thought of stopping after high school is not enticing, so a chance to compete on a college team is my ultimate goal.
