William Davies '16 Recruiting Profile

Please note that I have added recent press to the beginning of my Personal Statement as the site limits the number of items that can be listed in the Press section.  I do not wish to remove any of them as they demonstrate the progress I have made in a very short period of time.

Upon walking away from Football my Senior year due to injury, I found an outlet for the fall in Cross Country.  In my only, very short season, I won the District 2A title and placed 12th in a field of 226 lat the State Championships.

I began running sprints at the end of my sophomore year. In a very short time, I have medaled at districts twice, qualified for states (junior yr finishing 9th in the state) and set a school record (junior yr). Every young man grows up with a dream, I wish to fulfill my dreams to my upmost potential. Running track at the collegiate level would be a dream come true. Playing at the next level is an absolute privilege. More importantly is my education. An undergraduate in Business would be my first stop along my academic path, finishing with the ability to go to law school. My education is my number one priority for my future. I have established myself as a well rounded individual in school, sports, and the community. I am regularly on the Academic Honor Roll and take part in three sports. I volunteer at camps for young kids and serve as a role model in the public eye of a small town. I also work for the local borough in the summer. With a jam packed schedule, I have maintained and proven that I am a very hard working individual. I am very coachable and willing to do what it takes to make myself and my team better.
