Tyler Hansen '16 Recruiting Profile

I have been a member of the Indoor Track team since my freshman year.  I also have played defense for lacrosse during the spring and summer.   After my junior indoor track season, I made the decision to focus entirely on track and joined the Outdoor Track team.  I have not regretted the decision for one second.   Track has given me the opportunity to develop my individual strengths to benefit not only myself, but my team as well. I have focused on improving my individual sprints and my running as part of the relay teams. I have worked hard at developing better starts and finishes and have worked to improve and solidify my hand offs during relays. During the off-season, I have been training in the weight room and preparing for the Indoor season which starts in November.

As I begin to focus on my future and my college options, I know that I want to run track at the college level while pursuing a degree in Athletic Training, Exercise Science, or Physical Therapy.  I want to continue to strive for excellence on the track, working to improve my running and improve my times.  I have a strong work ethic,both on and off the track, and will put in the time necessary during the season and off-season to improve myself.  I believe I am very coachable and take instruction well, and look forward to working with different coaches and teammates during college.  It is important that I maintain high grades in the classroom, and am looking for a college that will fit both my educational goals and my running goals.
