Jacob Wakefield '23 Recruiting Profile

I really enjoy competing in Track and Field and Cross Country.  I like the challenge of getting better and being able to see the results that come out of the work I put in.  I would love to be a part of a competitive collegiate team, and I think I could do well.

I believe I could be an asset to almost any team that I join.  My times and records have continued to improve, and I continue to put in the work to further them.  I think with college level training I could continue to advance my records and become a valuable member of a team.  Along with that, I am academically strong.  There wouldn't be any worries about my academic eligibility.

In going to college, I hope to leave with a degree in Engineering, although I have yet to narrow down a specific field.  Along with that, I would like to have success as an athlete.  The top event in my mind that I would really like to improve in is high jump.  I would really like to get up above the seven-foot mark while in college, and maybe even higher.  My goal is to get into a competitive division two, or maybe one of the lower division one schools and establish myself as a competitor there.  I am open to just about anywhere if the fit is right, but a college in Ohio, or any of the neighboring states would be my first option.
