Grady Clem '19 Recruiting Profile

Track & Field has been one of my biggest passions since my 8th grade season. During that season, I had no coach, and no place to practice, until I had a meet at my local high school. At this meet I proved to the coaches of my high school team I had potential, and from then, until the end of my 8th grade season I practiced with the varsity high jumpers daily. It was during that season I grew long lasting bonds with multiple teammates and coaches. I also learned the importance of teamwork in a sport that is known as an individual sport. Learning this early on helped me become a captain in my junior season.

After competing in the USATF Junior Olympic Association, Regional and National Meet this past summer, I realized that I want to pursue track & field after high school as a student athlete.

I have more passion for track and field than anything else in my life. It is my goal to be able to compete at the collegiate level.
