Briggs Ballard '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball and lacrosse for about ten years. I play both sports competitively and for my schools. I love playing sports and traveling all over the country to amazing places to play them. My proudest moment in basketball is making varsity as a freshman. My proudest moment in lacrosse is winning the 8th Grade State Championship.

I strongly believe in community service, helping people in need and making the world the best it can possibly be. I learned the importance of community service while on my first competitive basketball team. The team required at least one hour of community service per week. Each player was required to have a service log that would be approved weekly by a coach. My proudest moment of service would be volunteering each year at the 5K for Cancer in Salt Lake City. This cause is close to my heart because my mom had cancer when I was young and that experience has motivated me to help in any way to find a cure for cancer. Other civic achievements include:

-Reading to children at Pingree School for Autism 

-Working in the school garden each Fall

-Volunteering at the Utah Food Bank 

-Donated equipment and conducted a soccer clinic for a small village in South Africa. 

-Shoveled walkways for elderly people in the neighborhood during the winter season
