Mekhi Lewis '21 Recruiting Profile

Coming into High School I wanted to try to try new things with sports and classes. I started doing Cross Country because that was one of the new things I wanted to try out. Every week into XC I started to really love and get into running. I was 1/4 people on my team freshman and sophomore year but I didn’t worry about that, I always worried about setting a new PR every meet no matter what. I ended up going from a 23.16 in 9th grade to a 21.19 my 10th grade year.

In track I have been doing anything from the 400 and above. Including Pole Vault. I was really fascinated and interesting in doing PV in 9th grade, but I wasn’t fully committed until 10th grade. It has been really fun and interesting to learn more about how to pole vault and the advancement of it. I ended up getting 9ft in competition, but 10ft in practice by the end of my 10th grade season. It is an honor being one of not that many black pole vaulters and I plan on doing it in college too. 

If you are a coach looking for a dedicated and confident athlete who will never quit, I believe I am the best for your team. Thank you for looking at my profile!
