Hello, my name is Xavier Deeken. I am a freshman at the University of Central Missouri studying Mechanical Engineering. I compete in cross country and track and field. I love spending time with my family and friends and enjoy doing group activities with my favorite people. I prioritize training and recovery, making sure I am properly taking care of my body and working hard to improve each day. I work hard in whatever I do and observe how each opportunity can not only benefit myself, but also benefit others. I am an avid Christian that loves God more than anything and strives to be the best person I can through Him. I have three siblings, two brothers and one sister. I was born in O'fallon, Missouri, but have lived in California and Georgia throughout my life as well. I recently moved back to my home state and currently live in Saint Paul, Missouri.
