Matthew Vanderlinden '22 Recruiting Profile

My current goals are to work my hardest in school work as well as my progression in track and field. I really want to put the work in to better my teammates around me as well as myself. I first got into track in order to be a better all around athlete for the other sports I played (  Basketball, Football). But as time progressed my love for track grew higher than the other two sports I previously played. I loved the whole experience of going to invitations and meets and being at regionals. As well as my passion for track rising, my passion for shaping my body in how I wanted to look rose as well. I got obsessed with weight training and instead of being 155lbs and 5'11" in my freshman year, I am now 175 lbs at 5'11". I feel more athletic than ever as well as feeling the best shape in my life, I am ready to prove that I am no longer the same athlete as I was freshman year.
