Scissortail Running has its first graduate!
Saulo joined us last summer to help him continue his running career after he graduated from Madill High School in 2023, with a goal of improving his times to the point that he could join a collegiate program. He had continued running and competing on his own, but wanted some guidance in taking his career to the next level.
While we helped out with the training, Saulo brought passion and discipline to the table - two things that are very tough to instill, but so important to a successful running career. Despite a demanding work schedule with late nights, Saulo consistently prioritized his training and did everything he could to support it with good recovery habits.
He locked down personal bests in every distance he competed in, including the 1500, mile, and 5K. Not only that, but he was incredibly consistent in his performances - even in tough conditions or hilly courses, he fought to perform at near-peak levels at almost every race.
And now this fall, the hard work pays off. Today, Saulo had his first practice as a member of the .xc Evangels XC and Track teams! After two years of largely solo training while juggling work, life, and running, we can’t wait to see how Saulo progresses as a student-athlete in an up-and-coming program.
Join us in offering congratulations and good luck to Saulo on this huge milestone!
