Marina Marusic '18 Recruiting Profile

To begin talking of my girls golf team at my high school, Lake Catholic High School, I have been on the varsity team since my Freshman year, my average scoring my first year being in the middle 90's for tournaments, it was a year of much change that I had to get use to in school and golf, consistently playing with girls that were older than I was. My GPA during that year was a 3.8 unweighted, and a 4.2 weighted, due to the honor classes I was taking. The next year, sophomore year, I became co-captain being in the second position in all matches and tournaments, maintaining the same ending GPA. Lastly, is this past season Junior year, I played in the first position, was team-captain and team MVP, my best score being an 82 during a season tournament. I was also lucky enough to make it the farthest in our school girls golf program into the states tournament, making it past sectionals as an individual, and placing 5th in districts individually, while maintaining the GPA of a 3.75 unweighted and 4.1 weighted taking honors and college level classes. I have very high hopes for the approaching summer league season and school season knowing that through the experience and practice that I have gained throughout the past years that will help me become the student-athletic I want and can become.

I do not have one specific school that I would like to go to but rather a list of what would be desirable. As being from Cleveland, Ohio and most of my family being from Ohio so I would mainly like to stay on the East side of America but I am not opposed to being somewhere out of the state of Ohio, somewhere in the northeastern or east regions of America. I have always wanted to go to a medium to big school, on a higher academic end, being in all honors my whole schooling career, I have always challenged myself to work as hard in school as in my golfing. The major I would like to stay close to is something within the medical field, close to nutrition, or something in Biochemistry, but if my major would change that is the first priority in finding what college that fits me academically.

My main goal for you, as a potential college coach, reading this statement on myself, is that you can see the passion that I have for achieving the best for myself academically and through golf, and it would an honor to bring that to a your college golf program.

Thank You very much,

Marina Ivana Marusic
