Joseph Carlson '21 Recruiting Profile

I started Track & Field in 7th grade. It wasn't long until I realized I really enjoyed the throwing events and the feeling when I set a new personal record. As the years passed, it became more about the process than the moment of setting a new PR. Between 7th and 8th grade, I improved my discus throw by over 50ft & shot-put throw by over 12ft. Since then I set my focus on farther and farther distances in high school.

My main goal for competing at the collegiate level for Track & Field is to find an environment I can thrive in and take full advantage of to focus on academic, athletic, and personal development. My good character and accountability, on and off the field, is what I believe I can offer to wherever I will go.
