Kevin Blackett ‘14 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

My name is Kevin Blackett and I am a senior at Stevens High School in Rapid City South Dakota. I am a 6'2" sprinter. I mainly run the 400 and 200. I have been running track since 6th grade but really started taking it serious my freshman year year. I have been training for sprinting the last 3 years with Scott Benson at Benson Sports Training. I have made it to the state track and field meet the last three years and am coming into my senior year as a top 5 sprinter in South Dakota looking to win it all. My team got 4th in state this last year and we also won the combined team title with the girls.  I am always running to win or put my team in the best place they can to win. I love the feeling of catching and running down runner after runner. I have been working on conditioning all summer to get myself in the best shape I can to help my team win state this next year. I also will do whatever it takes to compete at the next level.

I am looking for a college that has coaches that will help me excel and set me up for success.I want to compete with the best at a high level where I will be pushed myself.
