Peyton Gunnarson '21 Recruiting Profile

I am a Freshman at Lewiston-Altura High School. I was born with a disability called Spina Bifida which is the reason that my times may seem slower than normal. I am determined to get a college degree while being successful in Track and Field as well. I have a goal of reaching the world level of competition, whether that be at the world competition or the Paralympics.  I compete in a racing wheelchair.  I have won several junior national championships and also 6 state titles in my first 2 years of competing on my high school track & field team in Minnesota.  I currently hold the all-time state records in the 100m and 200m.  I also hold the state high school meet records in the 100m, 200m and 800m.  Sprints are my specialty, but I also do fairly well in the distance races.  I would really like the opportunity to go to a college that has has a wheelchair track & field program that I would be able to participate with.
