Ava Buhlman '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ava Buhlman.  I am 17 years old and a junior at Allendale High School.  I am an attacking midfielder for the Michigan Fire Juniors 2005 Elite NLC & SCNL team.  I have been with MFJ for 5 years and have served the last 3 years as a captain.  My team recently won the 2021 MSYSA State Cup.  This spring will be the 3^rd year on my high school varsity soccer team.  This summer I will be playing my 2^nd year in Super Y.

In the classroom, I bring the same determination and hard work as I do on the field.  I currently hold a 4.0 GPA and am ranked 9^th in my class.  I am a National Honors Society and Student Council member.  I also participate in high school cross country, basketball, and track.

My goal is to find a college that will challenge me both academically and athletically.  Sports have been a huge part of my life and upbringing.  Participating and succeeding in sports have given me confidence that benefits me both on and off the field.  I feel that my involvement in athletics has made me a better student.  I thrive on a structured schedule.  Soccer has always been my number one passion.  I would love to continue playing at the collegiate level and hope that I am afforded the opportunity to do so.
