Aquinas College

Junior Lexi Hurst continues her outstanding career with the Aquinas Cross Country and Track & Field programs while pursuing a degree in Clinical Exercise Science. A graduate of East Kentwood High School, Hurst has established herself as one of the Saints' top distance runners, qualifying for both the 2026 NAIA Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field National Championships. She is also part of Aquinas' No. 2 all-time outdoor 4x800-meter relay team.

Before arriving at Aquinas, Hurst was a six-time track state qualifier and earned All-Conference honors while helping her teams capture conference, regional and MITCA Team State championships. She chose Aquinas because of the people she would meet and the opportunity to continue growing both on and off the course.

Lexi believes her faith is the foundation of her success, relying on God to guide her journey both academically and athletically. Away from competition, she enjoys Black Cherry ice cream, watching Legally Blonde, and appreciates the unique experiences of having lived in Tennessee, Washington, North Carolina and Michigan.
