Owen Kaufman '22 Recruiting Profile

As a three-sport varsity athlete carrying a 3.9+ GPA and an honors course load for the past 3 years, I know that athletics and education take dedication, time management and passion. I look forward to expanding my educational knowledge while pursuing a degree in architecture or engineering with the aspirations of one day running my own firm. I am equally excited to pursue my passions for the sport of track & field for an elite collegiate program that strives for excellence and focuses on the athlete's whole college experience on the field and in the classroom. 

Having navigated the challenges of significant injury and recovery both physically and mentally, I am confident and committed to being an asset to the collegiate team I join. Being on the other side of adversity I am stronger, faster, more explosive and more determined than ever to do my best and achieve my goals while being a leader that models compassion, work ethic, collaboration and unity around a common goal. This has allowed me the opportunity to play an important part in my football team's State Runner-Up football run in the 20-21 season, set the school record in 2 relays and 1 individual competitive swimming events, and to be the first male Track & Field athlete in school history to win the Shot Put and Discus at the State District Meet.

I look forward to being part of a collegiate program that values these characteristics as well as an educational institution that focuses on that full college experience on the field, in the classroom and in the future workforce.
