Elizabeth Sacchi '17 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Sacchi. I attend Ridgefield High School in Ridgefield, Connecticut. From the moment I kicked my very first soccer ball, I knew my love for athletics was real. I have always loved running, starting when I would chase all of my friends around on the playground in kindergarten. When I first started track during my freshman year, I did not know what to expect. During my 300 meter indoor races, I would look behind me to see where my competitors were, and fling my arms all around, thinking that was the correct way to run. Since then, I have learned so much about improving my form, eating right, and realizing that track is a lifestlye.  This sport has taught me the importance of working 110% in order to achieve my aspirations. I am choosing to focus exclusively on track, for it is my passion. I train for the 55, 100, 200, and 300 meters in addition to 4 by 100, 200 and 400 meter relays.

I love to challenge myself, both mentally and physically, in order to be the best athlete and student I can be.  I am a part of the National Honor Society and have been on the high honor roll throughout my junior year. I am currently working on my Gold Award in Girl Scouts, and once a week, I teach catechism to fourth graders with my brother at my local church. As a senior track captain, I plan to challenge myself through every practice and meet, in addition to playing the violin, and maintaining a high GPA. My goal is to make it to the college level and improve my skills even further to become someone great.
