Cuthbertson junior Alyssa Preisano has announced her commitment to Wake Forest University!
Preisano has had a standout junior campaign, she was the anchor leg of the Nike Indoor 4x800m national champions, while helping her squad run a state record of 8:59. She garnered two individual all-state performances during indoor track (1,600m and 3,200m), and was 4th at the NCHSAA 4A cross country state championships.
"The [Wake Forest] coaches and team had been absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. They made the recruiting process super smooth and allowed me to feel confident in my decision to commit. Also the campus is a perfect size, and absolutely beautiful."
She broke-out into superstardom during the 2021 outdoor track season, where she captured the NCHSAA 3A 800m and 1,600m championships, running 2:17 and 4:57 respectively.
"When finding the college that was right for me I paid attention to a couple different things. First off, I wanted to find a team that was excited to compete and truly enjoy the sport. I was looking for a coach that was supportive and welcoming. Coach Ashley is an amazing coach who believes in her athletes and will help them achieve their goals and dreams. I am super excited to be a part of her team in the coming years."
