Kaden Lohrentz from Buhler is one of those kids who knows how to do everything right, and the fact that he is also a great athlete adds the cherry on top for Lohrentz.
“When you work with such exceptional young men, all the coaches and all the athletes have the same thoughts,” head coach Willie Adkins said. “Great integrity, is willing to work, would go out of his way to help anyone, has great faith, a supportive family, an amazing family heritage, he is just an all-around good guy.”
Lohrentz is the younger brother of two good runners before him, so being around the program as a youngster helped feed his ambition to get better every day.
“I would say that my seriousness around track comes from how I was raised to work hard no matter what I’m doing,” Lohrentz said. “I also love track because you are never done. There is always a PR to chase and something to improve on.”
Coming into his senior season, Lohrentz wanted to improve his times in the 4×800-meter relay, 3200-meter dash, and Pole Vault but also made a point to continue improving his leadership skills.
“I would say that my leadership style is more lead by example than anything else,” the senior said. “I always try to do the right thing and work hard to get things done. I also try to include people who don’t get to hang out with many people.”
