Alexander Pedersen '22 Recruiting Profile

I started track and field in 9th grade and just fell in love with the sport. Since then I take every opportunity given to me to advance my skills in the sport. Wether it's making sure I go to the weight room at every opportunity or going to private pole vault sessions. For pole vault training outside of school, I go to the Hudson Valley Flying Circus and work with Coach St. Lawrence (Coach Saint) and the other staff there. Coach Saint likes to talk about how teaching others can make you better athlete, and I really believe that. I make sure I take that into practice with my high school team, and try to help make those around me better as well. Much like track academics are very important to me, and I work hard to insure I receive the best grades I can in school.
