Nicole Sacchinelli '18 Recruiting Profile

I have dreamed of being a collegiate athlete since I was nine years old and have been involved in track & field since the age of seven.  I have also grown to love the sport of volleyball since the age of eleven and have played setter, opposite and outside hitter.  

As a junior track & field athlete I qualified and competed in the USATF Junior Olympic Nationals for seven years.  I placed third, fourth and sixth in javelin during my time competing as a junior athlete.  In addition, I was a five time recipient of the USATFNJ Youth Athlete of the Year award for throws in my age group.

I have had the honor to represent my school on the varsity level in both track & field and volleyball as a student-athlete.  I hold several championships in track & field and have every intention of making my senior year the best ever. I am currently the captain of my varsity volleyball team.  I have been athlete of the month in my school three times and currently hold the school javelin record with a 134'6" throw, breaking my own record two-times over. I have also qualified and competed in the Championship round for the New Balance Nationals in 2016 & 2017. 

In addition to high school sports, I also play club volleyball from December to May and club track & field from June to July.  I work for the retail store Garage as a salesperson, referee our town recreation basketball, coach the recreation junior track & field team and I am a certified USATF Official and officiate the usatfnj youth program in the spring months.  

In addition to everything I am involved with, I have maintained a GPA of 3.5.  

I know there is so much more to achieve.  So many great things I still dream of accomplishing.  All these experiences have provided me with a great foundation.  I have been fortunate to have been so involved with school, sports and my community. I have traveled to many states and have had many supportive people who have provided me such wonderful guidance though the years, my mom, my teachers, my coaches and my community.  I am truly blessed and I am ready to take the next step into my collegiate career as a student-athlete. I am ready to represent the school that believes in me. The school that knows I am the right candidate and I would represent with the same honor, pride and respect as I have always shown in the past.
