Malakai Schaad ‘22 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Coming into my junior season I looked forward to just getting the chance to compete again. My off season provided me with lots of time to find club meets to attend so I wouldn’t lose any of the progress I made last year. During the winter I increased my PR to 14’6 and then took some time off to prepare for the upcoming season. This year's season was short so I knew I needed to make it count. I worked extra hard to achieve the goals I had set for myself, jump the school record (15’5) and qualify for state. I am extremely dedicated to pole vault because it is my main event, however I also run on our 4x200, and 4x400m relays which I think both function as great training for vaulting. 

In college I look forward to competing at the highest level possible as well as furthering my academic journey towards a degree in kinesiology so that I can pursue a career in coaching. I am looking for a college with a team that works as hard as I do as well as a team and coaches that I can learn from in the process.
