Stephen Campana ‘21 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I recognized in middle school that I am most successful academically and personally when I'm athletically engaged and competitively challenged.  In eighth grade, my football coach suggested I try the shot put and discus and I've never looked back.  I loved the power and grace required to be a successful thrower, and although it wasn't easy or natural at first I quickly found my rhythm and a passion for the sport.

Every time I step in the circle I'm not just competing against other throwers,  but I'm competing against myself.  It might seem like an independent sport, but I think that being part of a team  that trains together and challenges one another makes us all collectively stronger and better.  It is my hope that I'll find a home on a collegiate team where I can continue learning, growing, and supporting my track and field family.
