Corey White '14 Recruiting Profile

I believe that hard work defines me as a runner and as a person.  I am a high school Senior track & field and distance runner from Champaign, Illinois.  I just completed my fourth season running varsity cross-country and my second season running varsity track and field.  In cross country, I earned All Big 12 Conference Cross Country Honors and Honorable Mention for the News-Gazette Cross Country Runner of the Year in 2011, 2012 and 2013.  In the 2013 cross country season, I qualified as an individual for State and placed 47th in 2A for Illinois.  In the 2013 track and field season, my 4x800 team won the Big 12 Conference Championship and then qualified for State by taking 2nd place at Sectionals.

I have a 3.93 GPA with an interest in mechanical engineering, business and finance, and math and science related courses.  My GPA reflects my commitment to academics and the importance of balancing life as a student-athlete. 

My running times and PR’s each season reflect my focus and drive to improve and strengthen my abilities.  My character is reflected by my commitments to my school as a National Honor Society member, to my community as an Eagle Scout, and to my faith and family.  I consider my team as my extended family.  I thrive on competition and am motivated to do my best as an individual to positively contribute to my team.

It is my dream to run cross-country and compete in track at a college or university where I can contribute and grow both athletically and academically.  I am open to exploring different schools and locations and look forward to communicating with coaches during this process.
