Audrey Meeks '19 Recruiting Profile

    I am interested in competing in cross country and track and field at a collegiate level because I am passionate about competitive athletics.  I am a determined and focused athlete that is dedicated to my training.  I am persistent and do am not easily discouraged.  I am very respectful to my fellow athletes and my coaches and believe that a team must be cohesive in order to be successful.  I am a well rounded athlete who also competes in soccer and Sanda (Chinese free form combat fighting). I am currently the undefeated national champion in 52kg for 9 years in a row now.  I traveled to Burgas, Bulgaria in September of 2016 to compete in the 6th Junior World Championships and fought against Iran, narrowly missing the bronze medal by a couple of points.  I also competed in the Pan American Championships that same year and won against Brazil, earning the gold medal for the United States.  I recently traveled to Macau, China this past summer (August 2018) to compete in the 1st World University Championships and fought against Hong Kong, and barely lost by a couple of points.  I round out my sports with personal strength and conditioning with a private coach.  I feel like this is important to building a better athlete and I enjoy the challenges that my strength coach puts me through.  He has developed a mental toughness that I feel is integral to any athletes success. I believe that all these years of training as a competitive athlete have given me a strong foundation for success in college as well as in life. and I hope to continue competitive sports in my college years.
