Nolan McGinn '15 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to utilize my athletic abilities to compete at a collegiate level. I feel that I have the tools necessary for me to compete at a high level after I graduate High school. My primary sport is track in which I specialize in the triple jump, I also run the 400m dash, 200m dash as well as compete in relays. My freshman year I had a good season. I was on two state qualifying relay teams as well as qulaifying in the triple jump. My 4x200m relay placed 3rd in the state, I was the second leg. I also finished 7th in the triple jump with a leap of 42 ft 10 inches, breaking my school record which i had set a week before. My sophomore season I was fortunate enough to be a member of a state championship track team receiving a 1st place medal in the 4x200m relay. So far this year I have set a new PR and bettered my previous school record with a jump of 43-11.50 at our three rivers conference meet which was 2 inches off our conference meet record. In addition to my track accomplishments, this year as a junior I was the starting Safety on the class 2A state championship football team.  Also, I competed in my third year as a varsity basketball player on a team that has achieved back-to-back-to-back regional titles as well as 2 sectional title.   I feel that competing at this type of high level in multiple sports has given me an opportunity to better prepare myself for a collegiate level in the future. In addition to being a three sport athlete, I am a dedicated student with a current grade point average of 3.44.  I feel one thing that sets me apart from other candidates is my passion for helping others.  I am involved with my school's BLIND program as a leader and I am a skilled listener who is always willing to take the time to try to help someone in need.
