Reece Ihenacho '24 Recruiting Profile

One of my favorite highlights from my high school career was when I hit the 140ft mark as a freshman. I started freshman year throwing 80ft and when summer rolled around, and after many hours of extra practice as well as being in the gym, I threw 140ft in an important meet. The work ethic I gained over my high school experience has also correlated to the classroom and my grades have improved substantially. Being on the team has helped me grow as a person, a student, and a leader. I help the younger throwers who are coming into the program get up to a level of confidence in themselves like my upperclassmen did for me when I first started. I think being on a good team with good team chemistry is an important part of an athlete's performance and I’m fortunate enough to have both as I’ve grown throughout high school.

I'm currently a Junior year with a 3.72 GPA and a goal of mine is to get it up to a 4.0+ by the end of this year. I’m looking to go to college for kinesiology, exercise science, or in business administration. I also want to build an athletic career beyond high school. I’m looking for a program that would be a great fit for me athletically but also academically. Not only do I have the ability to compete well at a collegiate level but I also have the work ethic, consistency, discipline, character, and leadership qualities that will have a great impact on your program. As a two-sport athlete, in basketball and track, I am always being recognized for my leadership abilities both inside and out of the classroom; so I know that I have what it takes to be a leader & compete in and beyond your program.
