Irene Smith '23 Recruiting Profile

I am currently a highschool junior who is looking forward to the opportunities to come. I have been doing track for 3 years now. I have ran both distance & mid distance. Every time I step onto the track, I give it my all. I currently am running the 400m, 4x4, 4x8, and occasionally the 300m hurdles. So far each race this season I have experienced PRs . I am a straight A student and hold a 4.2 GPA. I am currently hoping to major in pharmaceuticals, as well as continue my track and field career throughout college. 

This past outdoor  Jr. season, I competed in a variety of events. Towards the end of my season, my coach decided to put me in the 800m run. I ran it in 2:48 and ended up winning the race. A few weeks later,  coach decided to only put me in the 800m run at districts. I ended up getting a PR of 10 seconds and placing 2nd in districts.

In my indoor 2022 season, I placed 4th in the region in the 500m dash. In the 2021 indoor season, I was apart of a 4x4 and 4x8 team that both went to states.

During my sophmore year, I was also apart of a 4x4 relay team that made it to states in the outdoor season   My split during the state meet was 1:03. 

Besides running track, I have also participated in the cross country program for 5 years. During my sophomore year I ran a 20:35 5k. 

I am a very coachable athlete. I am down to try whatever is best with no complaints. I trust the process and am always eager to do my very best. I strive for the best academic validation available. Being said, I participate in AP and honors classes to help better my education. I have extremely well time management and never miss a practice for any reason. My goal is to commit to a college that is best fit for my academic and athletic goals.
