Andre Akinyemi '22 Recruiting Profile

I grew up in a household where everything was based off of hard work, dedication, and respect which allowed me to shape myself to be a well rounded and devoted individual. When I was first introduced to the sport of track and field, I was immediately attracted to it. From participating in track and field I continue to learn beneficial life lessons everyday that help guide me through life. Academically, I uphold the same values as I do on the track. I continuously push myself to be the best student I can.  I plan on maintaining A’s in all of my classes and achieving great scores on the SAT and the Act to help me near my goal of becoming an Orthopedic surgeon.

In my free time, I continue to work to reach my personal goals as well as volunteer with my family, graphic design, and play basketball. I attend my local church regularly and often help in the service. I hope and work hard to continue to grow and develop my Track skills along with my personal skills in my daily life. I’ve learned that if I put my trust and faith in God I can accomplish anything I put my mind to.
