Patrick Walsh '17 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coaches, 

As a runner with dreams and goals I always shoot for the top. I think I'm a good candidate for any team because I am a team player that always wants to win.

I also helped my coach build a Track and Field program for our school, the first ever in school history.  We did research and went to the Board of Education with a proposal that was later approved. 

The thing that makes me different from other runners is my work ethic, my unstoppable determination and the fact that I want to win more than anyone else. My favorite quote "It ain't how hard you hit, it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." 

Here is a great article that NJ.com did last year:

I was also listed on NJ.com as a "history maker" as I was the first ever Sectional champion for our school in our inaugural season for the 3200 and I won again this year.

For the 2015/2016 school year, on June 8, 2016, I won the Athlete of the Year for South Amboy High School.  I was also All State for all 3 seasons this year and All Conference for the 3200 in Outdoor.  In addition, I won the Milesplit poll for Kick of the Week in Outdoor and made Meet of Champions all 3 seasons.

I am looking forward to running in college.

Thanks
