Chaison Wesley '21 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Chaison(chai-sun) Wesley i'm a student athlete who attends Pittsburg high school and i love to run track. My whole life I’ve been looking for something to put all my effort into and pursue it and I found out that running Track is that thing. Track is more than just a sport to me. At this point we in my life track has taken me away from bad situations and just lets me forget about something that could be bothering me. Whenever I get on that track I’m locked in and ready for the work but i was not always like this. Starting track career my sophomore year i wasn't prepared for what it took but that all changed after my first race. I realized i wasn't the fastest and that to get where i want to be its going to take a ton of work and commitment. The commitment to be a teachable athlete and be willingly to take those hard steps. Now i'm a senior i try to teach the my underclass and teammates that to be where you wanna be you have to put the work. That's why at  practice i tend to take the leadership role and get everyone to lock in.  I do this because i want to see my teammates put in the work so that when we have meets we can all be proud of our improvements and all move forward. Academically i try my best in the classroom. I think being smart and doing your best in the classroom is just as important as on the track. What makes me different is my willingness to preform to my best ability in both the classroom and track.
