Matthew's Story

My passion is running.

I discovered my passion for running around the seventh grade. I started by running the mile in PE class. Then, when I moved further into Los Angeles, I discovered Students Run LA. I ran my first Los Angeles Marathon in 2015.

When I began my first year at Roosevelt High School, I joined the Cross Country/Track and Field team. I ran on the varsity team with the kids that were the same age and speed as me. I ended up getting a new "PR" each week. By the time I stopped racing, my personal record of the cross country season was 18 minutes and 52 seconds.
