Runner Profile: Rookie Isaak Olvera

Isaak Olvera is a freshman on the cross country team. He is the son of Tony and Alejandra Olvera. Isaak is the big brother to Mia, a sixth grader this year. Isaak describes himself as sarcastic, clumsy, funny, and competitive. The thing he enjoys most about cross country is the running. He is involved in basketball and track at school, and enjoys playing video games in his free time. If there was a zombie apocalypse he would want Emry on his team because Emry was one of his first friends when he moved to White Oak. Isaak is a man of few words. He is by far the quietest on the team, which also makes him a favorite among the girls. He has adapted well to the demands of high school cross country. His training has become more consistent as the season has progressed, and he loves to compete in the races. For the most part Isaak lets his legs do the talking. He is not about the hype or show. He just gets out there and competes his hardest. His hard work is also evident in the classroom. I look forward to watching him grow and mature in the next few years as a runner and a person.
