Christopher Smallwood '25 Recruiting Profile

As a dedicated track and field athlete with over five years of experience, my goal is to compete at the collegiate level where I can continue to push my boundaries, build on my skills, and contribute to a team of high achievers. My passion for track, combined with my commitment to academics, makes me a well-rounded candidate ready to embrace the challenges and demands of collegiate athletics.

Growing up in Texas, I train and compete in one of the country’s most competitive environments for track and field. This experience has not only built my resilience but has taught me the importance of adaptability and perseverance. Whether through recovering from an injury or striving for new personal records, I continuously seek growth and improvement. My track record as a 3x state qualifier, UIL state champion, and an All-American Track & Field 5th place qualifier underscores my dedication and ability to perform under pressure.

Academically, I am equally driven. While I have faced challenges, including dyslexia, I’ve learned to persevere and adapt in ways that have strengthened my approach to learning. I take pride in my improving GPA and the determination it reflects. This experience has given me a unique perspective on setting and achieving goals, which I bring into my training and competitions.
