Ian Thompson '20 Recruiting Profile

At the beginning of the school year, the last sport I thought i would be doing was track and field. I was a big basketball player and I was all in on the sport. Unfortunately, my season did not go the way I wanted it to and I wanted to try something else. My dad told me about how he enjoyed track and field and encouraged me to do it. When I first started high jump, which was only two months ago I was raw, but I always knew I had potential. Over the course of the season I improved almost a foot and I made it all the way to states. I would be a good addition to a college team because I have a strong work ethic and a desire to get better. What makes me different from other athletes is never settling for any result, and always being hungry for more.  Additionally, I am an excellent student.  I maintain a high GPA while taking a challenging course schedule.
