Jack Marlow '20 Recruiting Profile

     I am currently varsity captain of my Northport High School Wrestling Team and have been only been wrestling for less than 4 years . I consider this a huge honor to be one of the leaders of my team and I do my best to support and encourage my teammates whether it’s in practice or competition .  I think this  speaks to my leadership qualities , optimism , and my character .  I have already learned so much about the sport and about myself. I have compensated for my late start in wrestling with my athleticism and body awareness that I developed from 10 years of training and competing in gymnastics. Due to this, I have the best technique in every room I am in and I feel this training sets me apart from others.   I have developed a great work ethic and high pace, by practicing hard in-season and off-season. I am constantly looking to improve myself either through drilling, lifting or watching film. Not a single day goes by where I don't improve myself in some way.

    I have always held myself to a high  standard academically. I know how important it is to have excellent grades and excel in school. I have worked hard  to balance this with my athletics . I’m a member of National  Jr. Honor Society since 8th grade  . I will continue to push myself in this aspect this year as a senior . 

    I am in the process of building upon my athletic and academic credentials and I know that I am on the verge of proving myself. I give my all, no matter what I am doing. Whether it's wrestling or academics, I always push myself and attempt to learn as much as possible. Wrestling is my passion and it is my dream to wrestle and compete at the college level . I truly believe that I can benefit every college program. My best is yet to come.
