Alex Elconin '17 Recruiting Profile

    My name is Alex Elconin, and I am a Senior at Somers High School, in Westchester County, New York, graduating in 2017.  Since I was in Middle School, I have been a year ahead in my math and science studies.  I am currently taking AP Economics and AP Environmental Science.  I have a GPA of 89 overall and take honors classes in English and Math. I am also on track to receive college credit before graduating high school for calculus and my most recent ACT score is a 29.  My most recent SAT score is a 1320.  

    I am currently 5'11" and 150 lbs.  I usually play outside back or center defensive mid, and I am a natural lefty.  I am currently playing for FC Westchester and my high school's varsity team.  The teams I have played on have done very well and in the 2014 season my club team placed 2nd in state cup. This year (2016) my varsity team was the class A State Champions. As left back, I played for all of every game and my defensive line and I only allowed 3 total goals against in our 8 play-off games.  My awareness of players on the field, athleticism, and ability to start the attack out of the back gives my team an edge on counter attacks.  I am interested in a strong liberal arts program.  I am especially interested in economics or possibly a biological science track.
