Pharaoh Parker '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Pharaoh Parker and my goal is to compete at the highest college level in track that I can and to graduate with a college degree.  Not only would I be the first person in my family to accomplish either of these, but I hope to be a role model for my sister, my cousins and those around me in my community.  I want them to know that with hard work, determination, and focus, we can do more both academically and athletically.  

I have had an opportunity to participate in football, basketball, boxing, and track, but track is the sport that stands out for me. I love that the sport requires self accountability. My individual performance contributes to a team outcome, but during my event, it is up to me to perform...I directly contribute to the outcome.  Track also allows me to measure my improvement objectively and drive myself to be better each season.  

I have a desire to accomplish these goals and understand that it comes through hard work and commitment.  My coach and my team can count on me to do my part to improve not only myself, but those around me.
