Brandon Gooden '13 Recruiting Profile

My name is Brandon Gooden. I'm in my senior year at John Bowne High School, Flushing NY. I stand at 5'8 and I weigh 140 pounds. I'm currently the captain of my high school track team, which I have been since my sophomore year. I have had a successful High School track career with most notable being my sophomore year which I was New York City No.1 Sophomore in the 55 Meter indoors and 100 Meter Outdoors and again in my senior year, number 1. ranked which I uphold in 2013. Now I'm looking forward to running track in college. My thoughts about the type of college or university I would like to attend, I would be open to any school that gives me an opportunity to compete my freshman year and have an immediate positive impact. I bring to the table a great work ethic as well as strong leadership capabilities, I am a very motivated individual, goal orientated; aspire for success, looking to acquire education and success on the track through diligence, patience and compatible traits. With that said, location and school size aren't deciding factors or deal breakers for me, but my preference would be to stay somewhere on the east coast. I'm looking for possibly a division 1 school. My desired major is Sports and Nutrition/Dietetic. My athletic goals are to make an impact on a team and to qualify in the Olympic trials.
