No, actually, absolutely nothing is going to stand in her way.
 
It is challenging to pinpoint what is most impressive about Chloe Shewell. Possibly it really is her four. GPA or that she’s double-majoring in finance and chemistry. It could be that she walked on to the Utah track group as a sprinter following not having a scholarship offer you out of higher college. Possibly it really is that she’s a leader in her sorority which has a concentrate on philanthropy. Or perhaps that she was just elected ASUU Student Physique Vice President.
 
Pretty the resume for a sophomore in college.
 
“Her drive and passion to succeed fully rubs off on absolutely everyone about her,” says sprint coach Rebecca Rhodes. “She holds herself to a pretty higher regular and handles all the things with such grace. She will be top some thing good in the future.”
 
The Park City native was a notable soccer player in higher college, but she was an elite runner for the Miners of Park City, top her squad to 1st location finishes at the state championships in each the 4×400 and 4×800 relays. Like a lot of other people, her higher college profession was interrupted since of Covid, and she wasn’t capable to flourish as a runner like she had hoped. She wasn’t provided an athletic scholarship to Utah, but she was determined to make it.
 
“She’s not somebody I would’ve recruited out of higher college,” says Rhodes. “We can appear at stats and instances from higher college, but it really is actually our two-week tryout period for stroll-ons that aids us see who you are. Can you hold up? Are you contributing to the culture of our group? That is what I appear for.”
 


Coach Rhodes wasn’t certain about Chloe at 1st, but it was Shewell’s determination that actually helped get her the spot. She usually wanted to run for Utah, and she wasn’t going to let the chance pass her by.
 
“She has a drive,” Rhodes says. “She would contact me (numerous instances) and let me know how substantially creating the group would imply to her and, honestly, that is some thing most individuals do not have the courage to do. It was vital to her, and I pretty substantially appreciated that.”
 
It is ten:30am on Monday morning.
 
Chloe laughs when she talks about her outlook calendar and says it really is planned out “to the minute!” She’d be “lost” with out it.
 
She’s in amongst classes (I did mention she’s a double-significant, suitable?) and desires to operate on her inauguration speech for subsequent week. She’s busy but you would not know it. She sits and chats about all the things from her pre-race superstitions, which songs pump her up ahead of a race and how she hopes to land an internship this summer time.

In case you had been asking yourself, black socks on race day are a will have to, and her shoelaces have to be tucked into the sides of her footwear. Rhianna and Taylor Swift are present go-to’s on the playlist and an investment banking internship is some thing she’s seeking to land.
 
Earning an athletic scholarship is not a purpose for Chloe. Her best academic record in higher college and now in college has taken care of that in the type academic scholarships. But she loves operating. She loves competing and she loves her group.
 
“Our group is so outstanding, and they accepted me suitable away,” she says. “We have so a lot of wonderful upper-classmen and coaches who have helped me so substantially. Just tiny factors like breathing, stances or how to get out of the blocks.”
 

She appears at enhancing her instances and skills as a challenge and actually focuses on the day-to-day preparation and instruction as the important to achievement in track and in life.
 
“You may possibly hate instruction since it really is so challenging,” she says. “Pushing your self to new limits is not effortless but it really is so rewarding when you see it spend off.” That’s generally life in a nutshell – hold going till you realize what you are following.”
 
Chloe is optimistic about her athletic profession but also realizes her future is not on the track.
 
“I will in no way cease operating, I enjoy it as well substantially, but I know I am not going to make the Olympics (she laughs). I want my thoughts to be my driving concentrate – not my physical side,” she says.
 
She lights up when she talks about her future aspirations and her new position as ASUU Vice President will give her a lot of space to develop.
 


“I am somebody who loves to be involved and desires to assistance make true adjustments,” she says. “I enjoy this location and want to make an effect and assistance increase student life.”
 
She’s just been elected but is currently diving in on what students have mentioned they would like to see changed on campus. An initiative she hopes to lead is to make parking superior for students. Improved lighting, protected rides and shuttles and it may possibly be “ambitious” but a reside parking program for students to know exactly where they can park are at the major of the list.
 
“In the end, I just want to make campus superior for students,” she says. “Affordability, acceptability and acceptance are our 3 pillars and will steer us on all of our choices.”
 
It is clear when you devote time with Chloe Shewell that her future is a vibrant a single. She’s a leader and is committed to assisting these about her. She has a determination and concentrate that is uncommon in life – let alone for college students.
 
“That girl basically does not give up,” says Rhodes. “That is the mark of a leader. A person who is not afraid to lead and let their passion shine. She’s been a essential portion of our group and I am excited for her future.”

Who knows, perhaps she will make the Olympics. Possibly she’ll finish up top an investment firm or perhaps she’ll run a hospital. A single factor that is not a “perhaps” is Chloe Shewell is right here and she will not let something stand in her way.
