Maya Stanley '18 Recruiting Profile

My name is Maya Stanley, and I am a rising senior at Northside high school in Jacksonville, NC.  I am a four sport athlete (volleyball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, and softball).  I enjoy playing all of these sports, but I love playing softball. My freshman year, I made my school's varsity softball team, and earned the Rookie of the Year Award.  My sophomore year, I was lead pitcher, and I led my team to a 3rd place conference win.  I earned 1st team All-Conference,  and 2nd team All-Area.  My junior year, my team finished 4th in conference.  I earned All-Conference and All-Area.

Freshman, sophomore, and junior year, I played other sports.  Freshman year (2014-2015), I was on the varsity indoor track and field team, and outdoor track and field team.  I earned All-State Athlete status by placing 4th in discus at the Outdoor Track and Field State Championship.  Freshman year, I also played junior varsity volleyball, and basketball.  

Sophomore year (2015-2016), I was captain of my junior varsity volleyball team. In indoor track and field, I placed 3rd and PR'd in Shot Put at the Indoor Track and Field State Championship.  In outdoor track and field, at the Regional meet, I placed 1st and PR'd in both Discus and Shot Put.  At the Outdoor Track and Field State Championship, I placed 2nd in Discus, earning All-State Athlete status, and placed 6th in Shot Put.

Junior year (2016-2017), I played Varsity volleyball.  I also was on the Varsity indoor and outdoor track and field teams.  I earned a All-State Athlete status in both.  I was the State Champion in discus at the 2A Outdoor Track and Field Championship.

I work very hard to maintain my grades while participating in these sports. I maintained on Honor Roll and Principal's List throughout my freshman, sophomore, and junior years.  My goal for college will be to work hard to obtain a college degree in social science, while also being a stellar athlete.  My ultimate goal is to be a pediatrician.

You should choose me to be on your team because of the qualities I possess.  I am a hard worker, a good listener, and a quick learner.  I am a competent leader, and a team player.  My fellow team mates trust me and feel comfortable coming to me for help or guidance, and I feel comfortable going to them for help as well. I believe these qualities separate me from other athletes. Another quality that separates me from others is my strong work ethic. I have worked hard, and will continue to work hard to get to my absolute best in athletics, and most importantly academics.
