Kapaun Mt. Carmel’s Andrew Guyer has been a guy who has always gotten better each year. And now as a senior he is ready to take one bigger step.
“Andrew is a great person and runner,” head coach Gage Garcia said. “He is extremely hard-working, genuine, friendly, and he is a great leader. Any success he has had, he has had to work for, and it is for sure that he has made the most of his opportunities. As an athlete, he is persistent, hard-working, and
has been an athlete that has come in clutch for us many times.”
Guyer didn’t truly fall in love with running cross country until seventh grade, when he and his friends decided to give it a try after previously being a swimmer.
From there the senior has worked and though it hasn’t always been perfect he has been awarded with being able to say he is a 5A state champion in track and 5A state third place finished in cross country.
“(Andrew) has gone through his difficult seasons, but has had a consistent positive trajectory of improvement,” Garcia said. “This is because he is willing to focus on all the details that a runner should.”
Since then, Guyer has grown into an outstanding leader, continually developing his skills over the years.
“(Andrew) has been a vocal and active leader on our team, one that doesn’t just lead by words, but by example. He has become an important piece of the changing culture of our cross country team at Kapaun and one of the reasons for our success in the past several years.”
