Jake Bingaman '24 Recruiting Profile

I have always been interested in participating in college athletics and am trying my best to reach my full potential. During the summer of my sophomore year, I began to work out daily to increase my speed and explosiveness, and I have made lots of progress since. The long jump and the 100 meter became my main events when I began track in 6th grade. I made substantial PRs in my junior season in both events, with a 20'9.5" in the long jump and an 11.62 in the 100, and I know that I am not even close to reaching my full potential yet. I am persistently working on my technique and physical capabilities, and I plan to compete throughout the summer and fall seasons to keep improving my capabilities.

I maintain a 4.0 GPA and am at the top of my class, and I am very involved in extracurriculars such as FFA, NHS, and ASB. Being in extracurriculars such as FFA and NHS requires lots of volunteer work, which I am always willing to participate in to improve my community. I work well in a team setting, which translates into athletics. Track is both a team sport and an individual sport, and I am constantly supporting my teammates while also focusing on myself. I am very cooperative with coaches and work to incorporate their advice into my training to reach my maximum potential.
