Alexis King '23 Recruiting Profile

I am looking for a college where I can do track and get a good education. 

The first time I ever tried high jump was in 5th grade. My dad was a division one high jumper for Oregon State, and he is one of my coaches. I feel I have worked hard for what I have achieved. 2022 was the first time Hawaii had a state meet that I was old enough to compete in, and I jumped 5’4” which allowed me to place first. Additionally, I placed first in every meet I competed in during my junior year. 

Something important to me are the relationships formed with teammates and coaches. I feel it is important to have a good bond with the people you are working with. 

Academically, I have an upward progression. In ninth and tenth grade, my gpa was low. However, during my junior year I was able to bring those grades up while taking more challenging courses. My high school is a college preparatory school, and we are pushed to do our best in our classes while encouraged to take classes that challenge us.
