Chase Walker '26 Recruiting Profile

Chase Walker – Personal Statement

My passion for track and field began in the 10th grade, starting later than most. I quickly realized the dedication and effort required to compete at a high level. Starting later than most, I quickly realized the commitment and effort needed to compete at a high level.

Despite being relatively new to track and field, I have incorporated countless hours into my training program to build my strength, learn my technique, and enhance my overall performance. My rapid progress and growth as an athlete demonstrate my ability to learn quickly, adapt to new challenges, and push beyond my limits.

One of my coaches calls me the "push" because I constantly drive my teammates, competitors, and myself to leave it all on the playing field. I believe in setting a high standard, pushing everyone around me to perform at their best, and fostering a competitive but supportive environment. This mindset has helped me grow as an athlete and leader, motivating others to achieve more than they thought possible.

Academically, I maintain a 3.3 GPA in the core courses (4.0 scale), which I’m excited about because I’ve learned to work with my dyslexia and ADHD in ways that enhance my academic performance. Working with dyslexia and ADHD has helped me be resilient, self-advocating, and proactive, which translates well into my approach to sports.

As I continue to grow as an athlete, I plan to bring my passion, energy, and determination to a collegiate track and field program. I am confident that my commitment to hard work, willingness to learn, and relentless pursuit of personal bests make me a valuable addition to any team.
