Paige Stahlke '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Paige and I am a junior from Mayer, MN. My track career started in 9th grade when my mother forced me to go out for the track team.  Little did I know, this sport would soon become my favorite sport, and also my passion.  I enjoy running the 100 high hurdles, but started learning the triple jump at the end of last season and am going to try long jump this season. 

I am a three sport athlete, competing in volleyball, basketball and track.  I really like the individuality that track allows for, but enjoy the team aspect as well.   Being from Minnesota, our track season is very short, and I look forward to the spring to be able to get outside in the fresh air and run. 

As of right now, my academic goals for college are to get a degree in early childhood or elementary education.  I love kids and the thought of getting to work with them every day is exciting to me.  I enjoy kids so much I volunteer at my churches summer vacation bible school every year.  I also referee 3/4th grade  boys and girls basketball games. 

I feel like I am early in my career and still have a lot of learning to do.  I would love to continue my learning on the track at the college level.
