David Diaz '14 Recruiting Profile

My dream and goal is to run Division 1 Track at a University with an outstanding academic reputation in Business Administration, Law or Medicine.  I aspire to follow in my mother's footsteps as a 4 Year Division 1 Track competitor with hopes of making it to the Olympic Trials and NCAA finals (as she did).  I am a team oriented and very "Humble and Hungry" individual who works hard in practice and runs with pure heart and determination as a fierce competitor who will "die trying" not to get beat in a race.  I hope you will see these characteristics in my Sophomore Year Division 1, 5-A State Championship videos, where our team won the 2012 State Championship and I was blessed to be the High Point Scorer for the team as a Sophomore.  My Junior year was frustrating, as I suffered from an acute case of Achilles Tendonitis which severely hampered my ability to properly train, condition and run.  However, I am well on my way to full recovery with an aggressive PT program and feel very confident that I will come back with a vengeance and excel my Senior year and at the collegiate level.  Finally, I wish to be a part of a team that is a close-knit group of good people along with great coaches who genuinely care about the well-being of their Student/Athletes.
