Isaac Wharton '27 Recruiting Profile
Video
2024 NBNO - Fresh...Personal Statement
Coaches,
My name is Isaac. I am a student-athlete in my sophomore year at Davidson Academy. I am a middle distance runner committed to becoming the best I can possibly be as a student and as an athlete. I was born in Uganda and adopted when I was 2 1/2 years old. I started running when I was in Kindergarten and haven't stopped running since. I love the sport and the training process that goes with it. I'm very lucky to have a training partner that is as committed to the sport as I am - my identical twin brother Eli!
I always strive to improve myself and help those around me to be the best they can be. I'm a good student and want to excel in the classroom as much as I do on the track wherever I go to college. I'll give my very best on the track and in the classroom at whatever university I attend. I'm looking for a college and program that will develop athletes on the track and as well as developing them as men.
Thank you for considering me!
Isaac Wharton
