Althea Helms '27 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play soccer and study Journalism at a university that challenges me in both. I am a versatile player who has started at center back, holding mid, and striker. I have a variety of soccer experiences between school, two club teams, and international play in Italy. As a starting freshman in 2023, I earned 2^nd Team LHAC All-Conference honors on defense and helped my team earn our first PIAA District 6 Championship. During the 2024 spring season, my club team won the EDP Mid Atlantic Premier V League, as well as during the summer won the 2024 Litiz Summer Showcase and played abroad in Italy. In addition, I’m known for my aggressiveness, speed and endurance. In 2024, as a freshman on the track team I set records in the 400 meter dash, 800 meter dash, triple jump, a helped set the 4x800 relay record. I went on to win the 400 meter at districts, qualifying me for states with 58.22 seconds. However, my favorite part of soccer is the tactical side. I adapt my play to whatever my team needs that game. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile!
