Brookelyn Baba '24 Recruiting Profile

I have been  participating in track since fourth grade where  I competed  in 1500 M, high jump, long jump, and 4 X 100 relay.   More recently, I've competed in hurdles as well as 4 X 400 relay and have started training on pole vault.  I consider myself a well-rounded athlete being  able to participate and excel in both track and field events.  

As a younger athlete, I was put into a leadership position and tasked to teach the younger field athletes the high jump.  During this time, I learned how influential a coach can be and utilized that to help the younger athletes gain the proper knowledge to compete and excel in the high jump.  I also learned how prioritize my time as a mentor and an athlete. 

Growing up, my parents taught me hard work and dedication.  I've been successful at being a student, athlete, and an employee at a local pizza parlor.  Track is an important aspect of my life as competing shows me I can achieve goals I  never thought possible and pushes me to new  limits. I aspire to continue with my track career through college to challenge myself even more and improve my skills as I continue my education in pursuit of becoming a nurse.
