Leila Mateo '26 Recruiting Profile

Cross country has been a huge part of my life since I was 8. As I’ve grown, I’ve fallen more in love with the sport and have put so much dedication into it. Despite setbacks, I’ve adapted to bouncing back quickly, while also learning to balance my academics which are just as important to me. I hold a lot of moral values close to my heart and as a cross country team captain I try my best to lead by that example as well.
