Isabel Cordova '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Isabel Cordova and I am a sophomore at Andrada Polytechnic High School. I do track and field at Empire High School and I have made the Varsity team as a freshman. My best 5k time from cross country is 21:29.6. I am a team player and always do my best to help others and support the team. I enjoy getting to know my teammates and creating strong relationships with them. I am open to learning new things and like to be given tips to correct things. Academics are very important to me, as my coaches say "School comes first." I have had a 4.0 unweighted GPA my 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade years so far, and currently hold a 4.28 weighted GPA. I have big goals in mind and would like to do what I can to achieve them. Graduating with a 4.0 unweighted GPA, keeping my running career in college active and graduating from college with good grades are some of them. Also, I know that being involved in school is important; I am the the Sophomore Class President in student council and plan to run for a student body position next year.  Aside from cross country and track, I did the martial art of American Kenpo Ju Jitsu and hold the rank of an adult green belt. I love sports and I have been doing them since I was six years old. I have been participating in track and field since 5th grade, with a club team, and all through middle school. I began cross country in middle school but could not run it my 8th grade year due to patellar tendonitis on both of my knees. After my 8th grade year, I got better and was able to run my first season of cross country in high school. I aspire to be the best that I can be by learning from my mistakes, from other people, and from my coaches.
