Winston Schroder '28 Recruiting Profile

My Collegiate goals for track and field are to gain more experience as a well rounded decathlete while being able to assist the team in sprints, jumps, and throws or any needed events for points.  I am hoping to find the right fit with a coach who specifically has experience coaching decathletes.  I look forward to continuing my technical, strength, mobility, and mental focus in all 10 events to help me become the best decathlete that I can. I am looking forward to this hopefully being a huge part of my path to the Olympics. I am currently training hard towards my long term aspiration of qualifying for the Olympic Trials my senior year in high school.  

I believe that with my hard work, mental toughness, and focused attitude I would be a great addition and candidate for any college track team.  I am a hard and determined worker; who will go above and beyond wherever points are needed for the team, and very supportive and easy going toward my teammates and coaches.

I am the type of person who pushes my teammates, as well as, being open-minded and positive when they are pushing me. I feel I can take and receive constructive criticism when needed from my coaches and peers. 

In terms of my athletics, I feel I have put in the time and commitment to be competing at the high level that I have competed at and achieved as a Freshman. I have had the opportunity to compete in club track as a USATF Track and Field member throughout my summers for the last 6 years, where I have qualified each year to represent my club team at the National Junior Olympics all over the United States.  I have worked hard for my 12 time All-American and 3 time National Championships.  I also hold the current 2025 US National All-Time Freshman Indoor Pentathlon Record and US National All-time Freshman Outdoor Decathlon Record to start my high school athletic journey.  I look forward to getting stronger, dialing in my technique, and learning as much as possible about the decathlon.

In the classroom I have proven that I am a responsible and reliable student who cares about maintaining high academic standards.  I maintain a solid report card history of A's and B's and hold myself accountable to keep up at least a 3.5 GPA in the classroom.  My teachers have commented that they appreciate how well I work with others in class, that I have a great work ethic, enjoy that I am a role model, and they can always depend on how self-directed I am. 

I look forward to talking more about track and field and what the future holds

Thanks 

Winston Schroder
