Braden Baker '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Braden and I'm a Junior at Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri. I've been doing Track and Field for 4 years now and I've fallen more in love with the sport and the training I do. My goal is to make it as a successful college student athlete. As of right now I am expecting to go into Physical Therapy as my major. Powerlifting has also been a big passion of mine for a few years now and really got into it when my brother introduced me to it, after a year of it and entering high school, I realized I could use it to a big extent to make me a stronger and faster athlete. I love the competitive aspect of Track; it keeps a fire lit under me every single day to keep pushing for greater things like hanging banners and collecting medals. As I wrap up my Junior season, I plan to take advantage of this offseason and improve my jumping ability, I might also take park in a local track team here in Springfield.
