Originally from Florida, Tech track and field star Avery Bartlett had always leaned on sports his whole life as an outlet for his immense energy. But it was not until high school that he began to run track. In fact, the reason he began his career as a runner was to prepare for the upcoming season in soccer. “After starting cross country, I quickly realized I would be a whole lot better at running than soccer, and so I began to stick with it,” Avery said.
At Tech, Avery has been a prolific runner and holds multiple school records.
