Denzel Hawkins '26 Recruiting Profile

I just started track this year my junior year, with no running experience. We did timed trails at school for the 400m and i was the only one wearing shoes you’d wear to go out, but i ran in them and was timed with 56. the coach seemed kinda impressed and went up to me saying he wants me to run at the time trials meet. I bought spikes then ran a 52. Then they decided to put me on the 400h, now have school record with 57, and then my next 400 i did i hit 50. My progress did slow down ever since i did sprain my big toe playing soccer but i just recently ran my last meet and helped with winning county champ. I Think I have potential with hard work.
