Mia Thompson '15 Recruiting Profile

My ultimate goal in the recruiting process is to find a school that allows me to challenge myself academically while continuing to play field hockey and competing at the highest level. In my time playing field hockey for G-Force Field Hockey club, I have won gold medals at the  National Hockey Festival, Disney Showcase, and the National Indoor Tournament. I also train outside of club with Steve Wagner at Goalkeeping 1-On-1. I am Notre Dame's starting goalie, and made over 130 saves and had five shutouts my junior year. 

I transferred into Notre Dame from Hunterdon Central with a 4.1/4 GPA. I have taken several honors classes and three AP classes in my first three years of high school, and will continue challenging myself in my senior year with four AP classes.  At Hunterdon Central, I was a member of Key Club and Livestrong Club, and on the weekends volunteered at the Little Devils Lacrosse Club coaching the kindergarden team. At Notre Dame, I became a member of the Special Olympics and Teens Against Cruelty to Animals club, and wrote for the school newspaper The Voice. I was accepted into Mercy Corps, a school sponsored service organization, and the National Honor Society.
