Jamal Merck '25 Recruiting Profile

My name Jamal Merck. As I am typing this, I am sixteen years old and in my junior year of high school. My goal for the future in sports is to run Track at a high level in college. I aspire to be the first person in my family to participate in college sports while also gaining a high level of education.

  I have been told that my persistence in education and sports help allows me learn to multi task and manage time. I have been told that i can bring a variety of moods to a team. I try to be a person that can help individuals on the team on a energy and emotional level. For some, it is difficult to connect with others that do different events. I have found that since I do so many events, I can connect with almost everyone on my team. I work hard to make sure everyone feels included and being the best athlete they are, because although many see track as a sport for individuals, we all work together as a team to represent our school athletically and academically.
