Jackson Wright '16 Recruiting Profile

I want to study biology in college, and I’d like to continue to participate in track.  I’d make a good candidate for college track teams because I am a competitive and versatile runner at distances from 400 meters to 2 miles.  As a junior, I placed first in my conference in the 800m, and I have qualified for states in the 800m and the 1 mile.  I am willing to also run longer distances, but because I play varsity soccer in the fall season, I have never run cross country.

Academically, I have earned all A’s in high school, scoring 1470 on my SAT and 33 on my ACT.  I challenge myself with AP classes whenever offered by the school.  I enjoy participating in the high school music program, playing trumpet in the concert, jazz, and pep bands.  Outside of school, I play trumpet with the Blackstone Valley Community Concert Band and at St. Mary’s Church in Uxbridge.

Of the many decisions I will make in life, I know that not all will be right, but I hope to find a path in which I can take pride.  I believe that we should not let our talents and gifts go to waste, and I wish to use mine to not only better myself, but to help others.  My motto: You can’t always be the best, but you can always work the hardest.
