Rizpah Thompson '25 Recruiting Profile

As I look toward collegiate athletics, my primary goals are to grow both academically and athletically while making meaningful contributions to a team that values commitment, discipline, and resilience. My journey through high school has been shaped by a balance of academic excellence, athletic achievement, and a commitment to my community. I am driven to compete at a high level in track and field, aiming to continue refining my abilities in the 400m and 200m events, while pursuing a challenging academic path.

What makes me a unique candidate is my ability to excel under pressure and my dedication to continuous improvement. From being recognized as the Under-15 Girls MVP in my 9th grade year to competing at the Bahamas Golden Jubilee Games and winning a silver medal at the CARIFTA Games, my experiences have instilled in me a deep work ethic and the drive to always push my limits. Balancing these achievements with a consistent honor roll record and active involvement in my school and church has taught me the importance of hard work, time management, and humility.

Academically, I strive to maintain high standards, aiming to not only earn my degree but to also contribute positively to campus life and support my peers. My commitment to growth, in both academics and athletics, makes me confident that I can add value to your program. I’m ready to embrace the next level of competition and contribute to a team that values integrity, determination, and perseverance.
