Sara Larkin '22 Recruiting Profile

I've been playing soccer since I was 3 years old and as I grew, I fell in love with the game.  I started playing soccer on a summer recreational team and once I was old enough, I joined an indoor house league that played only during the winter months.  I was involved with this house league for a few years until I joined a travel team.  I now play soccer all year long between indoor travel, outdoor travel, and JV/Varsity.  Our travel team plays together indoor during the winter months and outdoor during the summer months.  There is about a 2-week break when travel ends in July and practice for JV/Varsity starts in August.

August 2018 on my first year on JV (Freshman), I was named alternate captain.  August 2019 on my second year of JV (Sophomore), I was named head captain of the team by my coach.  I also received an award certificate at the end of the season for "leadership."

Spring 2019, I decided to try something new.  I joined the JV Track & Field team.  I enjoyed it and the running kept me ready for travel soccer.  During our winter indoor season of travel soccer (2019), I volunteered with Top Soccer.  Top Soccer allowed us to teach soccer and play soccer with kids who have disabilities.  Winter 2019/2020, I once again tried something new.  I participated in Unified Bowling with kids who have disabilities.  Outside of school and travel soccer, I also do dance.  I have been dancing since I was 3 years old.  I currently take tap, jazz, lyrical, and hiphop.  I am also on  the performance team which allows me to dance at community events and charities, as well as participate in local parades.  I have been assistant teaching the younger kids in hiphop also since 2017.

My short-term goals are to be on the Varsity soccer team and eventually play during college.  I want to continue dancing.  I also want to continue to volunteer with children in the community.

In academics, I received the Presidential Award at the end of 8th grade (June 2018) for having a 90% or higher GPA during all 4 years of middle school.

I enjoy being involved in my school.  I volunteer in the concessions at the home football games for JV and Varsity.  I have donated my hair twice to Children with Hair Loss.

I am interested in pursuing education in law enforcement that would allow me to get into the police academy.  I would like to pursue a career as a police officer working with the K9 unit.
