Louisa McPherson '17 Recruiting Profile

I am currently in my third year of varsity cross country (2016), and will be in my fourth year of varsity track this Winter (2016-17) and Outdoor (2017). I have been named Co-Captain for the girls cross country team this season.  I was voted the Most Valuable Cross Country Female Runner for 2016 Season.  I was in travel soccer from second grade through eighth grade, and as a high school freshman, I was on the junior varsity field hockey team.

I always loved running, and decided that during the Winter season of my freshman year, I would try out for indoor track – I loved it and never looked back, knowing that running was my new found sport. From then onwards, I made the varsity teams for cross-country and track.

I’m committed to running in college and furthering my education. I am passionate about everything I do, whether it’s my running, school work, or other extra-curricular activities. In running, I’m always ready to help out my team, whether it’s in my distance events, or running in the 4X800 and 4 x 400 (as needed).

I am a hard worker in all I do, and try to set an example to my teammates through my hard work. I strive to do well in all my classes and consider myself a leader. I help others by participating in several high school clubs, as well as mentoring and encouraging my teammates.
