Mitchell Finitz '12 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'11" runner from York, Maine, and I run Cross Country, Indoor Track and Field, and Outdoor Track and Field.  I am currently in my senior year at York High School in which I am a team captain for Cross Country, Indoor Track and Field, and Outdoor Track and Field Teams.  In my Junior Year of Cross Country I was able to make the All-Conference Team, and also placed 7th at both the Regional Championships and the Maine Class B State Championships.  In Indoor Track and Field I was the 2 Mile Champion and 1 Mile Runner-Up at the Western Maine Conference, and the 2 Mile Runner-Up at the State Championships along with placing 4th in the 1 mile.  I am an ambitious runner and my goal is to run for a college/university with a high competition level so I can continue to become a better runner, and also be a benefical addition to the team.  I would prefer going to a school in New England or close by and would also consider other areas of the country as well. However; my larger objective is to go to a college/university with the high academic standards and a high competition level where I can continue to increase my skills as a runner.

 With the start of my senior year I have cut my home x-country course time by 30 seconds.
