Katelyn Harshbarger '25 Recruiting Profile

     Hello to any future colleges that may read this.  Everyone calls me Katie. I have wrestled for a little over 6 years.  I primarily do folk style.  However, i have done a little bit of free style. My aspiration for my future college is to get my bachelor's degree in nursing like my mother.  Then further that to get my CRNA license.  However, my end goal may change because I'll be able to see what is all out there nursing wise.

     This part of the writing gave me a little more of a challenge then I thought.  But the more I talked to my friends, family, coaches, and supporters they all said pretty much the same thing.  They all said that I was and still am their number one supporter no matter what disagreement or challenge I may face myself.  Then they would go on to say that I've made so many sacrifices for them to make sure they earned and/or deserved.  For example, I would cut down or bump up to a weight class so they would get the spot they deserve.  Most of them say I am a well-rounded person who always brings a positive vibe wherever I am.  My coaches told me I have always been able to learn and adapt to new moves pretty quickly.  Everyone says I am an amazing listener and I do believe them because I could always recall what they told me and when.  My coaches and teammates feel I am an amazing addition to their team because I've learned to stay calm in stressful situations, always willing to learn new things, and be able to pick up on it pretty quickly.  Then also having the ability to think fast and adapt to change. But overall, they feel I am a good person with a heart of gold.  

Education wise I've always found school to be pretty fun.  I enjoy learning and have always done pretty well in school I respect all my teachers and classmates because I believe if you give respect, you will get respect.  But overall, I have the same amount of energy about my education as I do wrestling.
