Hello.
I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Bennett Murray, I am 18 years old, a senior at Temescal Canyon High School in Lake Elsinore, CA (southern California), and I am a starting varsity catcher. I currently have a 3.89 GPA, I am interested in studying business or communications.
I was born in Wyoming, Minnesota on October 14, 2005, but moved shortly after to Southern California. I started playing baseball at age 4 at Murrieta Valley PONY Baseball and have been playing baseball ever since. After a few years, I joined a travel team at 8U. My current club team is Easton Prime Clippers and Deacons Baseball Club.
My mom was a swimmer in high school and is now a contracts attorney and small business owner. My dad was a sponsored amateur skateboarder and also ran cross country in high school. As he got older, he participated in numerous triathlons, marathons, half marathons, and half Ironman’s. He is a contractor in business with my uncle, who played water polo for University of Southern California (USC).
I bat and throw right. My main position is catcher, but I can also play infield. I train 2 to 3 times a week with a strength and agility trainer, as well as train weekly with a batting and catching coach. I work hard, have a positive and happy attitude, and I love my teammates.
Thank you for taking time and reading my personal statement.
Bennett Murray
