Luke Bueno is a sophomore on the cross country team. He is the son of Rickey and Sarah Bueno. Luke is little brother to White Oak Alum, Lizzy and older brother to Abby. Luke is involved in the Regiment of Roughnecks band, powerlifting, tennis, and track. The things he likes most about cross country are “the cool shoes and gear I can use and running with friends.” In his freetime Luke likes to play pickleball, spikeball, volleyball, ping pong, and tennis. Luke spends a lot of his extra time working on his tennis skills whether it is during private lessons or at the courts with teammate Kaleb Glenn. When asked to describe himself in five words, Luke writes, “coolest human you’ll ever meet.” If he wanted to survive a zombie apocalypse he would want teammate Logan Langewisch on his team. He believes Logan’s “nonchalant-ness would scare the zombies aways, and he probably knows how to shoot a gun the best.” If Luke could have a conversation with anyone, he would choose his younger self. “I would tell myself to let go of things and focus on what’s important.” Luke is a talented runner. He has learned to balance his time well between all of the things he enjoys doing. He has matured as a person and runner this season. His training has become more focused and consistent, and that has translated to a much more successful racing season. He is still his goofy self though. Keeping his teammates and myself on our toes.
