David Young ‘18 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Goals & Intentions

My primary goal is to maintain my high level of character and obtain an excellent college degree. This, I feel will drive most of my decisions. Education has been most important to me since day one (my parents made this clear).

I have been fortunate enough to be gifted with a high level of athletic abilities.  While participating in all 4 sports and continuing to discipline my time to study, I feel I'm still able to balance my time to enjoy my social life as a growing young man.

Maintaining a High Honor roll status throughout high school (currently 3.9/4.0) is a priority goal. Recently as a freshman participating in the Wisconsin State Track Finals placing 2nd in the 400x4 relay (3:19:53) I, feel I am on the right track.  I have an immense passion for sprinting and last years experience as a Wisconsin State Finalist was uplifting. In order to go back to State I have to train even harder, be dedicated and stay healthy of mind and body. I plan not just to qualify for the 4x400 relay, but also in the 200 dash.

I believe that I have not yet reached my full potential.  Given the opportunity to continue on with sprinting throughout college would allow me to train at a higher level and truly discover the peak of my athletic abilities and enhance my college experience as a whole. Sports are a clear avenue for me to be afforded the best education that is available.
