Cerda started running for fun in elementary school inspired by her mom’s marathon training and continued to run to stay in shape for soccer. She joined the CUA track team to continue competing after her college soccer career ended. Competing for the first time in her senior year of college, Cerda ran the first sub-5 min mile in school history on her way to earning 3 program records in the mile, DMR, and 1500, was a 5x all-region selection, and was named a Second Team all-American in the 1500. Her goals for the coming years are to learn more about her capabilities as a runner, try XC, and improve her mile and 1500 times. Professionally, she works as a corporate sales engineer for Varonis.
