Michael Staton '23 Recruiting Profile

My family has always called me by my middle name "Kai." I am currently 12 years old, 4 ft. 9 inches, weigh 67 pounds, and run a 5:36 mile. I run for the Eustis Middle School Track Team and the Lake County Jets track club. I started seriously running at 8 years old. Prior to entering Middle School, I practiced and competed with the Mount Dora High School team and a local track club. I compete in cross country, 1600m, and 800m.

I am a very driven athlete. I love participating in many sports, but I currently compete and excel in baseball, boxing, and track. I spend all year, six days a week, working and training for one of these three sports. My parents encourage me to experience as many things as I like. I like to set goals and reach them as quickly as possible. I can motivate myself for all my sports and love to compete. I work hard to be an example to every person on my team and try to motivate others to play at a higher level. I have worked very hard over the past 5 years and will continue to work to achieve my goal of running track for a college team.
