“He has outstanding listening skills and has been a student of the game since day one.His mental strength on and off the field is what separates him from most athletes. Nick has the ability to deal with the pressure of "championship" races the same way he deals with the pressure of taking Honor and A.P classes and keeping his GPA over 3.85. He has outstanding listening skills and has been a student of the game since day one. Like most elite athletes his work ethic is second to none and has always lead his team by example. Nick has broken four school records and is on his way to becoming one of the best distance runners in the history of the state of Florida. Outside of his academic and athletic achievements he has also been among the leaders of the team in community service hours with over 100 hours so far. He is the most well rounded student-athletes that I have had the pleasure of coaching during my 8 years at Miami Sunset Sr. Now Nick will focus on winning the state title in the mile and a possible opportunity to qualify to the Adidas Dream Mile in N.Y.C. This are just a few reason's that make Nick an outstanding Gatorade Runner of the Year.”
