Caelen Cusick '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Caelen Cusick. I’m currently a senior at Chanhassen High School in Chanhassen,  Minnesota (home of Prince’s Paisley Park). I am the starting striker or left wing on the varsity team. 

I’m 6’1 1/2” and growing. I’m about 150 lbs and working to put on more muscle. I’m known for my explosive speed, my ability to create turnovers and find the net. I’m left foot dominant but I’m strong with my right as well. 

I play soccer year around. I spent most of my club soccer career with CC United where I was the lead scorer every year I played. I decided to leave that C1 team last year and try out for Minnetonka’s premier team, which I made. I will be starting with that club in November. 

I also run varsity track. I run a 11.23 100 and a 5:15 mile. 

My Olympic Development Team tryouts were cut short this year following a track injury but I did make the initial team and was named an alternate on the traveling team. 

I was somewhat late to mature and my grades suffered, but I have been working to turn that around. My academics improved the last semester of my junior year and senior year is off to a great start! 

I’m looking for a school where I can continue to grow academically while enjoying the sport I love. Thank you for checking out my profile.
