Hannah Lonergan '15 Recruiting Profile

I love to RUN.  Running is what I do. My dream is to run for a Division I university.  

I am currently a junior at Novi High School in Novi, Michigan, and have been a varsity athlete on both my cross country and track teams since my freshman year.  I was consistently the #2 runner during my freshman and sophomore years. This year I have had the honor of being captain of my cross country team as well as the #1 runner.  With a very promising upcoming track season, I look forward to being captain yet again.  Being a captain allows me to share my experiences and expertise with the other girls.  It is very rewarding for me to see my teammates excel and succeed.  

My motivation to help others succeed with their running was noticed by one of the Novi High School track coaches this year.  They selected me to be a mentor to the kids who will be coming to the high school in a few years.  During my time with these kids, I help them with their schoolwork and talk to them about what a great sport running is.  

A few of my most memorable running experiences have been:

* 2012 New Balance Outdoor National Track meet running the 1-mile and 2-mile open events as a freshman.

* 2013 MHSAA LP D1 State Track Finals running the 4x4 relay placing 3rd as a sophomore.

* Qualifying for the 2013 New Balance Outdoor National Track meet as a sophomore (but did not attend).

* 2013 MHSAA LP D1 State Cross Country Finals finishing with a new PR 18:51:1 as a junior.

My academic interested are currently undecided, but I am leaning toward a career in the social work field. I am strongly motivated to excel in my studies this year to bring up my overall GPA. 

As you can see, running is my life.  I am hopeful that I will be given the opportunity to pursue my dreams of running at a Division 1 university.  I welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications and/or future running goals in greater detail.

Thank you for your time.
