Jason Clayburn '18 Recruiting Profile

I have running ever since I could walk. I always knew I had the raw talent to run at a high level, but I always had trouble at speed. I worked hard to refine my speed, and it has improved immensely. I would even go as far to call it one of my strengths. Running track and cross country in college would be life-changing, and I look forward to embracing such a change. I have always ran faster than most people my age, but they always eventually caught up to me. Ever since I began to work on my speed, my times have improved, I began to place better in meets, and I quickly gained enormous amounts of confidence. I have learned the characteristics needed in a team leader through playing other sports such as basketball and baseball. I work hard on keeping my grades at a high level. I prefer a college in which I am not only tested athletically, but I am also tested mentally. I try to provide a good, Christian example for all my teammates by keeping my grades high, staying positive, and having good manners. I want to attend a college that will test me spiritually as well. I want to make everyone who helped get me to the point I am at now proud.
